Imaging modes. Bright field and fluorescence imaging of mouse pinna bearing a glioblastoma tumour are used to follow the tumour and vascular evolutions simultaneously. Images were here acquired 14 days after cells injection (case M1-R). (a) Bright field image of the tumour and vasculature, (b) fluorescence image of U87-GFP tumour cells, (c) blood vasculature highlighted by dextran-rhodamine, (d) the two fluorescent channels which are merged, and (e) bright field image zoom on the tumour and microvasculature with objective 4x. All other images have been acquired with objective 2x. Scale bars: (a), (b), (c), and (d) 1 mm; (e) 500 m.
