We present a mm-sized, ultrasonically powered, lensless CMOS image sensor for wireless fluorescence microscopy. Access to real-time cellular-level information within the tissue can provide new insights for diagnosis and personalized treatment guidance across numerous medical conditions including cancer therapy. In cancer immunotherapy, for instance, where a priori identification of responders is challenging, real-time intratumoral information can aid early assessment of treatment response, identifying activation of the immune system leading to durable responses or rapid...
