Tissue Reconstruction Robot
Model: Histo-Cutter
The Histocutter Is A Purpose-Built Robotic Device For 3D Tissue Reconstruction. It Runs Overnight In An Unattended Mode, And Can Do Multi-Spectral Imaging Of Fluorescent Signal From Thousands Of Aligned Tissue Slices. One Can Do Optical Sectioning, E.G. With A Confocal Microscope, But That Is Limited By Optical Penetration Of Tissues, Especially In Bone Or Cartilage, Or Large Tissues, Whereas The Histo-Cutter Can Be Used For High-Throughput 3D Visualisation Of E.G. Articular Cartilage Morphology In Mice, Surgical Samples From Patients Or Whole Eyes.
