Microscopic Imaging in Deep Tissue
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Obtaining clearer and more detailed microscopic images deep within tissue has become a rich area of research in fields ranging from adaptive optics to photodynamic therapy. Visualising biological structures in vivo or non-invasively is a powerful strategy for discoveries in the live workings of our cells, tissues and organs. However, breaking the technological and biological barriers that traditionally limit imaging in deep tissue to the range of a few millimeters requires exceptional techniques and pioneering research developments.
Nature Communications, Communications Biology, Communications Engineering, npj Imaging and Scientific Reports are now inviting research Articles on the topic of microscopic imaging within deep tissue. This Collection will highlight Articles that involve new tools and emerging techniques for imaging at increased penetration depths within tissue as well as considering advances in conventional and state-of-the-art light microscopy techniques.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: tools and techniques for microscopy in deep tissue, multimodal solutions for increasing penetration depth, and advancements in image processing. Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments covering these topics will also be considered for inclusion in the Collection. All submissions will be subject to the same review process and editorial standards as regular articles submitted to the contributing journals.
This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating journals more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal through which they are submitted. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note that authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
