Longer range research:
automated screening

Liver biopsy of Hepatocytes
(arrows) surrounding bile ducts

The slightly lighter brown is background stain, which degrades the image quality, making smaller ducts more difficult to find.

Current technology Vs. LEDs of future

• Unreliable differentiation of target signal from background due to low contrast
• Spectral matching for specific stains, illumination source, detectors
• Improved S/N ratio which would lead to automation and increased accuracy
