The optical fibre contains a metal layer on its tip and projects red laser light into the specimen CREDIT Dr Salvatore La Cavera Abstract: Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fibre, and will be insertable into the human body to visualise cell abnormalities in 3D. World's first fiber-optic ultrason...
