Abstract
There are unique challenges in image interpretation during in vivo three-dimensional microscopy due to irregular tissue staining and inefficient rinsing of unbound probes in thick tissues. We have developed a two-color ratiometric microscopy technique that not only reduces image contrast due to nonspecific probe accumulation, but also provides a quantitative 3D map of cellular biomarker expression. This strategy will enable unambiguous determination of disease states for real-time optical biopsy.
