Brightfield Histopathology
using Spectral Absorption and
Histogram Functions

"Characterizing any sample in absorption or % reflection provides absolute measurements that conveys a host of information. When combined with a histogram we have powerful statistics"

Figure 1. Keratinocyte Plots show the absorption spectra of areas in circles

 

Absorption measurements on micro-areas in Figure 1 shows a stained keratinocyte that was illuminated in brightfield. Absorption spectra, measured in optical density, are shown in the plots alongside.

 




Figure 2. Shows the spectral histogram of all classified spectra that correlated with library spectra.

Spectral Histograms
Spectral ratios present in either the entire field of view (FOV), or local regions, can be presented in histogram format.

Because natural products tend to present significant local heterogeneity presenting the results of a spectral classification in histogram format tends to even out local anomalies and provide an accurate statistical overview.
