Back Cover: Prolonged in vivo functional assessment of the mouse oviduct using optical coherence tomography through a dorsal imaging window (J. Biophotonics 5/2018)

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography through an implanted dorsal imaging window allows for prolonged in vivo structural and functional assessment of the mouse oviduct (Fallopian tube), including threedimensional structural imaging, quantitative measurements of the smooth muscle contraction, and mapping of cilia beat frequency. This method brings new opportunities for live studies and longitudinal analyses of mouse reproductive events in the native context. Further details can be found in the article by Shang Wang et al. (https://doi.org/10.1002/jbio.201700316).
