CurrentLaser Ablation Tomography (LAT) is capable of rapidly acquiring three-dimensional structural and compositional data with micron resolution in opaque specimens. The LAT Scan process uses a 355 nanometer q-switched, pulsed laser and a rapidly-swept galvanometer scanner to continuously vaporize a thin surface layer of a sample. The emitted light is directed through an optical system for filtering and imaging, creating highly contrasted, colorful stacks of images. Stacks of images are then processed and reconstructed into a high-resolution volume rendering that can be analyzed, quantified, segmented and virtually dissected. Although dependent on sample size and composition, acquisition speeds exceed that of conventional techniques like micro x-ray CT and confocal microscopy. This method allows for data acquisition at unprecedented speed with little to no need for staining or complex preparatory procedures, facilitating more rapid scientific discovery.www.l4is.comhttps://www.youtube.com/user/L4ISLLChttps://plus.google.com/+L4isllc/about
