Deep Needle Image

Caption

A new “dual-axis” approach to OCT allows researchers to look deeper beneath biological tissue. Here, a needle point more than one millimeter beneath a mouse’s skin can be seen toward the bottom of the dual-axis image (left) but not in the standard image (right). The signal of the needle in both has been adjusted for better visualization of the needle.
