Optical projection tomography

Optical projection tomography is a form of tomography involving optical microscopy.[1]
It is in many ways the optical equivalent of X-Ray Computed Tomography or the medical CT scan. OPT differs in the way that it assumes parallel ray projection as opposed to fan beam projection as is the case for X-ray CT. The technique has already contributed to a large number of studies aimed at addressing a broad range of biological questions in diverse systems such as human, mice, chicken, fly, zebrafish and plants. More recent adaptations have further enabled the use of the technique for studies of specimen on the adult mouse organ scale, individual cell nuclei and for longitudinal assessments of organ cultures.
