How do Advances in Technology Complement Two Dimensional Representation?
Advances in imaging technology have provided complementary methods to enhance our understanding of tissue structure: 1. Confocal Microscopy: Offers optical sectioning, allowing for the collection of high-resolution images at different depths, which can be reconstructed into three-dimensional representations. 2. Electron Microscopy: Provides ultra-high-resolution images, revealing details at the molecular level that are not visible with light microscopy. 3. Digital Pathology: Involves scanning histological slides to create digital images that can be analyzed with computer algorithms, facilitating quantitative analysis and remote consultation.
