A new study reveals a promising new imaging technique known as computational scattered light imaging, which analyzes these fibers and pieces together the resulting light scattering. While scientists are well aware of these networks’ importance, studying them has proved immensely difficult, as they are remarkably small. Now, a new study published in the journal and led by scientists at Stanford have made the impossible possible with a new imaging technique they call “computational scattered light imaging,” or ComSLI. Because light scatters differently depending on the structure’s orientation, scientists can compile this scattering from multiple angles. Although this allows scientists to image these fiber structures with immense accuracy, this setup only requires a light source and a microscope camera.
