Scientists discovered a microscope to spot the seeds of cancer

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases that covered whole world in its terror. Scientists are always in hunt to defeat cancer. Following this race to win over cancer scientists have discovered a new microscope that can identify seeds of cancer. A brave team of engineers, scientists and doctors from Stanford is working to develop a mini-microscope that might turn into a wonder microscope. It will be able to noninvasively detect the CTCs earlier than ever before. This will allow for earlier interventions. This pen size object can help the man kind in endless ways. Bonnie King, an instructor from Stanford School of Medicine explains “There has been a huge push to increase sensitivity. We suspect that CTCs often circulate in numbers below our current threshold of detectability. A major advantage with the microscopic technique, is the ability to screen much larger volumes of blood, rather than just a small vial collected from a patient.”
