Move the pointer over the sample to reveal the orientation under the red dot. On touch screens, tap or drag. Keyboard: arrow keys to move, Esc to reset.

Recorded research samples, processed locally in your browser. These 2D visualizations show local orientation, not a live acquisition or a clinical navigation system.

The principle

How light
reveals fibers.

White matter has an organized structure that changes how polarized light travels through it. Imaging Mueller polarimetry measures those changes to reveal tissue properties and local fiber orientation.

AOPOLAR combines optical instrumentation and computational imaging to develop non-contact, contrast-agent-free visualization for research in intraoperative neurosurgery, head and neck surgery, epilepsy surgery, and other fiber-related surgeries.

4 FPS acquisition*No tissue contactNo contrast agent

*Team-reported research prototype performance. The sample viewer is a browser adaptation of the lab’s MuellerTract desktop demo.
