Ultra-Thin Probe Measures Tissue Health
Jun-19-19
An ultra-thin probe able to reach deep into the lungs allows clinicians to assess lung health in real time.

Developed by a team of UK researchers, the photonic optrode probe is as thin as a hair and equipped with 19 different sensors able to measure different tissue characteristics, such as oxygen levels and acidity. The team intentionally designed the device for flexibility, and other sensors can be added to it to for applications in different tissues and to provide even more information.
