Photonics West YIA Winners

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2009 – SPIE has announced the winners of the Young Investigator Award (YIA) from Photonics West 2009 in San Diego, Calif. As part of this year’s Photonics West, SPIE organized a special symposium called the “Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Imaging” conference, where they announced the winners. The conference touched on biomedical spectroscopy, microscopy and imaging, and was attended by roughly 150 scientists who enjoyed more than 40 presentations.  The specially dedicated YIA, which is worth $750, was sponsored by PicoQuant to motivate young students to submit and present their work at North...Read full article

    fluorescence correlation spectroscopy
    A powerful method, referred to as FCS, for determining the average diffusion coefficients of fluorescent molecules in solution or membranes. FCS measurements rely on recording the transition of several thousands of molecules through the focal volume. The combination of short measurement times along with free positioning or scanning of the observation spot makes FCS an excellent tool for investigating diffusion heterogeneity over time and space.
    fluorescence lifetime imaging
    Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is an advanced imaging technique that provides information about the lifetime of fluorescence emissions from fluorophores within a sample. Unlike traditional fluorescence imaging, which relies on the intensity of emitted light, FLIM focuses on the time a fluorophore remains in its excited state before returning to the ground state. This fluorescence lifetime is influenced by the local environment and can be used for various applications in biological and...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    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...
