Advances Draw Crowds to BiOS

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2008 -- The latest clinical and technical advances in microscopy, therapeutic lasers, molecular imaging, nanophotonics, biophotonics and biosensors are expected to draw more than 1400 participants to BiOS, the world's largest biomedical optics and imaging conference, Jan. 19-24 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. BiOS, part of the SPIE Photonics West 2008 conference, provides attendees with the premier technical forum for learning about the latest advances and is a major impetus for launching new applications and technologies; patent citations indicate the importance of the research...Read full article

    Glossary
    cell
    1. A single unit in a device for changing radiant energy to electrical energy or for controlling current flow in a circuit. 2. A single unit in a device whose resistance varies with radiant energy. 3. A single unit of a battery, primary or secondary, for converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 4. A simple unit of storage in a computer. 5. A limited region of space. 6. Part of a lens barrel holding one or more lenses.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    superresolution
    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
