Researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a revolutionary bio-medical imaging tool, the holotomography HT-1, to view and analyze cells, which is commercially available. Professor Park collaborated with TomoCube’s R&D team to develop a state-of-the-art, 2D/3D/4D holographic microscope that would allow a real-time label-free visualization of biological cells and tissues.

The HT is an optical analogy of X-ray computed tomography (CT). Both X-ray CT and HT share the same physical principle — the inverse of wave scattering. The difference is that HT uses laser illumination whereas X-ray CT uses X-ray beams...
