Video of our real time analysis in point mode. It alternates between defect (low GAG) tissue and healthy (higher GAG tissue)
Video of our real time analysis doing line scans through tissue. It goes healthy, defect, healthy seen as high, low, high GAG(red) trace on the graph
Video of our real time analysis in line scan mode finding the margins of a defect. The red trace (GAG) indicates defect (0) or healthy (>0) tissue as the probe zig zags back and forth over the defect edge, showing which points near the edge are in the defect or healthy.
