MOLECULAR CELL IMAGING USING OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for identification and isolation of cells from tissues using optical spectroscopy. The method includes accessing the cells using an access corridor, measuring the cells using optical spectroscopy, comparing the spectra of the cells to signature spectra, using the comparison to identify the cells and removing the cells into a container. The system includes an access corridor, a probe for measuring the cells, a resection tool, a collection tube and a collection container.
