1 - A research team from the University of Illinois has created a new microscopy technique known as Nonlinear Interferometric Vibrational Imaging (NIVI) which produces images of tissue surrounding cancer cells and tissue with 99% accuracy--and it only takes 5 minutes. Before the invention of NIVI, sample cells would be taken from a patient. A stain would be added and pathologists would have to wait for the stain to set. After it set, the pathologist would have to visually analyze cells based on perceived abnormalities. Sometimes a pathologist could not come to a definitive conclusion and would have to consult with other pathologists before giving a diagnosis. NIVI eliminates the subjective diagnosis because it analyzes cells based on molecular structure. Now a patient can have biopsy results within minutes, and have confidence in knowing that the diagnosis is 99% accurate.

2 - German researchers at Helmhotz-Zentrum Berlin developed a new X-ray microscope that provides researchers with fine details on a cell. Previously, microscopy techniques required chemical fixing, staining, or cell-cutting. Not so with the new nanotomagraphy microscope invented by these researchers. Furthermore, the microscope creates high-resolution 3D images of the cell in one step, as opposed to electron microscopy which had to take cross-section images separately and then put them together to form the image.

3 - Scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Harvard School of Public Health are now using a real-time imaging system known as flourescence-assisted resection and exploration (FLARE) to track flourescent nanoparticles. The particles were tracked from the external environment into the lungs. Scientists were able to see the details such as chemical composition, size, form, surface, and movement charge of the nanoparticles.
