Clipped to a Shark’s Fin, Collared to a Bear or Attached to a Crow’s Tail, Wildlife Cameras Come of Age
When the finishing touches were put on the first Crittercam 20 years ago, the device more or less resembled a camera. It did take pictures, and it was attached successfully to a loggerhead sea...
LEDs for Bioanalytical and Medical Instruments
The much-anticipated availability of LEDs for applications in biophotonics finally is manifesting itself in a new selection of more efficient, longer-lived illumination products. LEDs have long held...

OCT for detecting decompression sickness
Scuba divers, airplane pilots and people in submarines all can experience decompression sickness when their bodies are subjected to sudden, drastic changes in the surrounding air or water pressure. The condition can be fatal, but researchers led by Kirill Larin at the University of Houston are working to develop a system to diagnose it in a matter of seconds so that actions can be taken before...
Mouse embryo wins competition
