- Recently, scientists have developed a specialised microscope with the potential to diagnose diseases like skin cancer as well as perform precise surgery without making any incisions in the skin.
- The microscope will allow medical professionals to pinpoint the exact location of an abnormality, diagnose it and treat it instantly.
- This will allow scientists to scan tissue quickly and when they see a suspicious or abnormal cell structure, they can perform ultra precious surgery and selectively treat the unwanted or diseased structure within the tissue without cutting into the skin.
- Further,it could also be used to treat any structure of the body that can be reached by light and requires extremely precise treatment, including nerves or blood vessels in the skin, eye, brain or other vital structures.
- The scientists have also said that the microscope allows imaging of living tissue up to about one millimetre in depth using an ultrafast infrared laser beam.It can not only digitally scan living tissue, but also treat the tissue by intensifying the heat produced by the laser.
