Figure 1. MediSCAPE imaging of the living human tongue. Subject slowly licked the MediSCAPE imaging head while high-speed 3D images were acquired (video here https://www.dropbox.com/s/sl7cfolhm3x91g7/Video2_roving_human_tongue.mp4?dl=0
). Volumes were then stitched to form long 3D strip below (video here https://www.dropbox.com/s/4y6hs1a3k4wd9x8/Video3_stitched_human_tongue.mp4?dl=0
). Contrast shows red and green autofluorescence with 488 nm excitation. Inset left shows MediSCAPE imaging geometry in which an oblique light sheet is used to illuminate the sample, and scans from side to side to rapidly capture 3D images. Inset right shows concept of hand-held MediSCAPE system for intrasurgical use.
