Histological scanner (Light-CT)

Scanner Light-CT

The Light-CT Scanner is a tissue imaging device. It allows to make optical sections under the tissue surface at selected depths. In a few minutes, the architecture and the tissue microstructure are revealed, in 2D and 3D, without damaging or modifying the analyzed sample .

This optical technique is based on full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT), an interference microscopy technique that allows "face" (2D) or tomographic (3D) imaging on fresh, fixed or frozen tissue samples at high resolution (1 μm), without staining or contrast agent.
