Scientists used colorful laser imaging to map the chemistry of Alzheimer's
Researchers at Columbia University developed a sophisticated laser imaging technique that uses vibrant colors to visualize the chemical changes and protein accumulations occurring within the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
A breakthrough imaging technique called SRS microscopy uses high-frequency lasers to map the chemical composition of brain tissue without the need for traditional dyes. By measuring the vibrations of molecules, scientists can visualize the precise location of amyloid plaques and lipid imbalances associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
