New Discoveries begin with LAT™

Visual analysis technologies that are simple, quantitative and rapid have greatly assisted in the understanding of growth and development, especially in genetic approaches. The ability to visually screen and perform morphometric analysis of developing tissues is an indispensable tool in the quest to find unique, advantageous traits and insight into complex regulatory pathways. LAT™ was developed to facilitate these discoveries.

Laser Ablation Tomography (LAT™) is capable of rapidly acquiring structural and compositional data in three dimensions. LAT™ uses fluorescent and hyperspectral imaging to obtain highly contrasted, colorful stacks of images in opaque biological specimens. Following acquisition, stacks of images are processed and reconstructed into high-resolution volume renderings that can be viewed, manipulated, and virtually dissected.  This method allows for data acquisition at unprecedented speed without the need for stai
