简介： • Nematodes are key model organisms for understanding the functions of genes and proteins, and human diseases, such as HIV and Alzheimer’s Disease • Genotype-phenotype investigation in genetically modified nematodes has provided important information on gene and protein functions • Current biological assays mostly rely on using stains, dyes or labels, and/or invasive techniques • For the first time, Raman spectroscopic imaging has been explored as a tool for analysing a nematode, non-invasively and without labelling • inVia's StreamLine imaging reveals chemico-structural information of the imaged area at high spatial resolution • The resultant images provide a powerful and visual method for assessing phenotypic changes in nematodes at the sub-micrometre scale
