Optical coherence tomography complements confocal microscopy for investigation of multicellular tumour spheroids

Abstract Knowledge of optical properties, such as the refractive index (RI), of biological tissues is important in optical imaging, as they influence the distribution and propagation of light in tissue. To accurately study the response of cancerous cells to drugs, optimised imaging protocols are req...

description	Abstract Knowledge of optical properties, such as the refractive index (RI), of biological tissues is important in optical imaging, as they influence the distribution and propagation of light in tissue. To accurately study the response of cancerous cells to drugs, optimised imaging protocols are required. This study uses a simple custom-built spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to conduct RI measurements of multicellular spheroids, three-dimensional (3D) in-vitro culture systems, of the cell line HCT116. The spheroid RIs are compared to study the effect of growth over time.

ScaleView-A2 (n = 1.380) aided in achieving greater depths of imaging of the multicellular spheroids under confocal microscopy. This improvement in imaging depth confirmed the utility of our RI measurements, proving the promising outlook of OCT as a complementary tool to microscopy in cancer research.
