Cancer Diagnosis in 3-D (VIDEO) University of Washington This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Caption The movie shows the 3-D microscope's image of a cell captured during cell division. Medical professionals could someday use such high-resolution movies to look for irregular chromosomes in human cells, as a possible indication of cancer. This cell belongs to a type of deer, a muntjac, and its six chromosomes have been colored with a fluorescent dye. The resolution of the image is 0.35 micrometers -- about three times better than that of the 2-D images currently used for cancer diagnoses.
