Satellite cameras, hovering 27,000 miles above earth can scan surface objects in great detail and in color by means of a technique call hyperspectral imaging. Now, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Gaithersburg, MD) are applying the same approach to scanning tissue where healthy and diseases cells present different colors. An algorithm makes that determination from microarrayed droplets on a slide under microscope observation.  This could be an important advance for the automated pathology lab.   MORE
