A commentary on the article: Zhu et al."1700 nm optical coherence microscopy enables minimally invasive, label-free, in vivo optical biopsy deep in the mouse brain."Light: Science & Applications 10, 145 (2021).
High-resolution optical imaging techniques are valuable as they can be used to provide brain tissue information at the cellular level in rodents. However, the intrinsic optical scattering and absorption properties of tissue often limit the imaging depth that these techniques can achieve.
