Biomedical optical imaging techniques provide powerful tools for observing biomedical tissue structural and functional information. However, the high scattering of biological tissues limits the penetration of light, and decreases imaging resolution and contrast as light propagates deeper into the tissue. Fortunately, novel tissue optical clearing technique provide a way for solving the above problem. This presentation will introduce some progress in tissue optical clearing imaging, i.e., in vitro tissue optical clearing methods for whole organs imaging; in vivo skull/skin optical clearing window for imaging structural and functional of cutaneous / cortical vascular and cells.
