How does imaging work?
There are many types of light microscopes, from basic widefield and epifluorescence systems familiar from school laboratories, to advanced techniques such as laser scanning confocal, spinning disc confocal, and super resolution microscopy.

🧪 New work from #MRCWIMM Professor Ahmed Ahmed identifies a molecular signature that predicts poor prognosis in high grade serous #OvarianCancer
The study defines high risk patient groups and points to targeted treatment strategies that could improve survival.
