Autofluorescence spectroscopy of a human gastrointestinal carcinoma cell line - design of optical sensors for the detection of early stage cancer

Human tissues show autofluorescence (AF) emission spectra when excited by ultraviolet or shortwavelength visible light. The intensity and shape of these spectra are dependent on the tissues pathological state and, therefore, its measurement gives information about the degree of malignant transformat...
