Technique - (2) Mid-infrared spectroscopic histopathology imaging

Type: Experimental

Description: Label-free mid-infrared absorption imaging of tissue sections to provide rapid biochemical diagnostic contrast.

Department(s)/lab(s): Physics | Mid-Infrared Photonics Group @ Imperial
Summary:

Murray develops mid-infrared photonic sources and detectors and combines mid-IR spectroscopy with mass-spectrometry imaging to provide complementary optical and biochemical maps of tissue for biomedical sensing.

Department(s)/lab(s): Physics | Quantum Imaging Group (Digistain) @ Imperial
Summary:

Phillips works on quantum imaging (entangled/twin-photon imaging at the quantum limit) and label-free mid-infrared spectroscopic biomedical imaging; he co-founded Digistain, a spin-out applying infrared spectroscopic histopathology to rapid cancer diagnostics.
