Label-free nanoscale optical metrology on myelinated axons in vivo

Spectral reflectance has been used to achieve label-free, in vivo imaging of myelin, a membranous sheath that allows faster electrical conduction along neuronal axons. Here the authors extend this technique to measure nanoscale features, including changes following traumatic brain injury.
