Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) captures high-resolution images of skin tissue at the cellular level, and then confocal Raman microspectroscopy analyzes the chemical makeup of specific areas identified in those images. Together, these tools enable insights into the shape and structure of cancerous cells.
