Microscope Slide Easily Detects Cancer Cells to Speed Diagnoses

A microscope slide that is compatible with any optical microscope could hold implications for the future of cancer detection. The tool, called the NanoMslide, was developed by researchers at La Trobe University. Brian Abbey and Eugeniu Balaur, with Belinda Parker of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, spent five years developing the technology to serve as a medical diagnostic tool for the detection of cancer cells.
