summary: Microfluidic technologies are frequently employed as point-of-care diagnostic tools for improving time-to-diagnosis and improving patient outcomes in clinical settings. These microfluidic devices often are designed to operate with peripheral equipment for liquid handling that increases the cost and complexity of these systems and reduces their potential for widespread adoption in low resource healthcare applications.

summary: Channel Editor Summary: The second paper in this pairing, describes an optical projection tomography (OPT) system for large transparent organ samples. Capable of imaging high volumes (up to 13mm tall X8mm deep) at near-cellular resolution (50µm), they go beyond current low cost OPT by providing more than one solution to sample alignment issues present in these tyoes of systems.
