Description

Minhong Zhou and co-authors present a new system in 2025 for imaging single cells in three dimensions as they flow past a sensor. The system uses forward scattering, which can show fine detail inside cells without labels.

Strong light that passes straight through has made this kind of imaging hard. The new system uses a needle-like beam of light, a row of tiny mirrors, and math steps to clean the signal. Tests with small structures, gel beads, and human cells showed clear detail at about four hundred cells per second. The setup could later pair with sorting and smart sorting tools.
