Cart is empty It all started with an innocuous question at the start of Francesca Catto’s doctoral thesis: Wouldn’t it be nice if tissue samples could be colored and digitally displayed as a 3D image? For more than 100 years, histology, a branch of pathology that deals with tissue changes, has been using an analog method that involves cutting tissue samples into micrometer-thin slices (about 7 times thinner than a human hair) and examining them for pathological mutations under the microscope. This technique results in 1 in 6 people being misdiagnosed and cancer cells going undetected.
