Abstract
Living cells exhibit active intracellular molecular motion that reflect their functional states. Traditional microscopy techniques that solely capture high resolution static images of cells misses out on the opportunity to tap into the wealth of information provided by complex intracellular activity. We recently developed dynamic micro-OCT (DμOCT), an extension of μOCT that achieves near-isotropic sub-cellular resolution in all three dimensions (2 µm lateral x 1 µm axial). DμOCT substantially enhanced the contrast of cells and organelles while revealing stratified, depth-dependent dynamics in the epithelial layers. In this work, we have expanded the application DμOCT to encompass imaging of human skin in vivo, and detection of pharmacologic-induced changes in human melanoma spheroids and murine tissues.
