Abstract
Computational Scattered Light Imaging (ComSLI) is a novel, non-destructive, whole-slide imaging method with the unique ability to precisely disentangle densely interwoven fiber structures in biological tissues. ComSLI can be performed on microscopy slides regularly prepared within the histopathological routine. Although it is a label-free method and does not require any staining, it also works on stained tissues for various stains. So far, ComSLI has been used to visualize nerve fibers in brain tissues [1-3]. In this study, we visualize muscle and collagen fibers in oral tissues for the first time.
