Abstract

In this work, we study the self-healing properties of the space-time (ST) light sheet upon interaction with a partially transparent object, namely a microtissue array of biological samples. In particular, we study the response of the ST light sheet upon encountering biological tissues that have been graded as normal (benign), malignant, and malignant tumor stage III. We find a differential response that can be leveraged for characterization of the tissue specimens. Specifically, the ST light sheet is observed to more completely reconstruct upon traversing the normal tissue compared to the malignant specimens. We believe that this is the first report exploring the potential of self-healing as a metric for tissue characterization.
