High Speed Camera Sees Cancer in Blood Sample
December 11, 2012 | Terry Sharrer
Scientists at UCLA have developed an imaging system that consists of a microscope camera with a shutter speed of 27 trillionths of a second, a laser illuminator that supports six million frames per second, and a high speed picture processor that analyzes the size, shape and surface texture of circulating tumor cells in blood. While at least one other cell identification camera exists, the UCLA team believes their system is optimized for early detection of circulating tumor cells. MORE
