摘要: Methods, devices, and systems for imaging tissue other samples or using infrared (IR) transmissions from coherent transmission sources, such as a wide range, tunable, quantum cascade laser (QCL) designed the rapid collection of microscopic data medical diagnostics across range discrete spectral increments. The are transmitted through, reflected from, and/or transreflected through sample, then magnified focused prior to being detected by detector. After detection, sample related image is used assess sample. Such methods, may be detect abnormalities in tissue, example, before can diagnosed art cytopathological methods. devices also optionally include visible light detection subsystem motion control assist processing imaging.
