New York: Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, are developing a handheld microscope, roughly the size of a pen, which could allow brain cancer surgeons to "see" at a cellular level in the ...

A hand-held, miniature microscope roughly the size of a pen can allow surgeons to 'see' at a cellular level in the operating room and determine where to stop cutting the tumour to kill only cancerous ...

Researchers expect to begin testing it as a cancer-screening tool in clinical settings next year. (Istock Image) Washington: A hand-held, miniature microscope roughly the size of a pen can allow ...

(Nanowerk News) Surgeons removing a malignant brain tumor don't want to leave cancerous material behind. But they're also trying to protect healthy brain matter and minimize neurological harm. Once ...

CEEJAY FAALA presents his invention: the “pencroscope”—a pen-sized digital microscope shortlisted for the “Research Project of the Year in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics” at the ...

Once they open up a patient’s skull, there’s no time to send tissue samples to a pathology lab — where they are typically frozen, sliced, stained, mounted on slides and investigated under a bulky ...

When surgeons are trying to distinguish between cancerous and normal brain cells while a patient’s skull is open on the operating table, there is no time to send tissue samples off to the lab. But, a ...

Mechanical engineers and collaborators have developed a handheld microscope to help doctors and dentists distinguish between healthy and cancerous cells in an office setting or operating room.
