DISCOVERING FINE NEUROVASCULAR STRUCTURES IN TIBIAL EPIPHYSIS

Imaging of fine and complex tissue structures while reducing bleaching

Olympus-2_500x250
Imaging blood vessels and sensory nerves in the epiphysis of a knee joint is difficult because the nerves and vessels form a complex structure within a narrow area.
 
Owing to its high transmission efficiency, the FLUOVIEW FV3000 confocal laser scanning microscope enables bright, high-resolution imaging of fine structures while using low laser power, which helps minimize photobleaching in the sample.
