Qing Tang , PhD

Qing Tang holds a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, where he studied the biological effects of ultrasound and electromagnetic fields. Right before joining Leica Microsystems, he had worked in a lab building a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) and total internal reflection microscope (TIRFM) to track single molecules. He has been working at Leica Microsystems since 2005, first as an advanced workflow specialist for widefield (WF) and presently for confocal.

肺纤维化研究

本文中所示结果表明，相比明场，使用偏振光可以更清晰地分辨小鼠肺组织中的胶原蛋白纤维化和非纤维化区域。为更好地理解促使瘢痕组织形成的肺纤维化，正常情况下会研究组织中的纤维化区域。分别使用明场和偏振光对小鼠肺组织中的胶原蛋白纤维化病变区域进行成像。成像胶原蛋白时，使用一般的染色法和明场显微镜很难区分纤维化和非纤维化区域。本文中使用偏振光对肺组织进行成像，两个区域呈现出非常明显的颜色差异。
