A microscopy method developed at the University of Freiburg is able to resolve cellular-level detail without fluorescence, enabling observations 100 to 1000× longer and 10 to 100× times...

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging offers a noninvasive means to obtain molecular and functional information about a variety of medical conditions. However, the quality of PA images, which are acquired when...

A two-photon fluorescence imaging method developed by researchers at the University of Hong Kong and the University of California, Berkeley was able to image the flow of individual blood cells at...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an optical alternative to immunoassays and other methods used for protein analysis. The alternative method provides rapid, highly sensitive...

Researchers at Penn State University are spearheading a multidisciplinary research effort to explore ways to produce bioethanol more efficiently from lignocellulose. Importantly, this is not corn...

A clever way to overcome the limitation caused by diffraction is to use 'pointillism strategy', a concept introduced by Rainer Heintzmann in 2005. The idea is to have only one fluorescent emitter...

Many biomedical diagnostics require quantifying levels of specific protein molecules in blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids. Antigen tests for COVID-19 are a recent example. Lens-free holographic...

The publishers of BioPhotonics invite you to attend a free virtual conference spanning three days. The BioPhotonics Conference will feature insights and innovations in microscopy, spectroscopy, flow...

This webinar, presented by Adam Wax, Ph.D., will introduce new methods for evaluating skin injury using spectroscopic measurements based on coherence imaging. These methods were developed by Wax and...

This presentation describes the path to adopt surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in clinical settings, including some of the efforts to develop enzymatic activity assays, direct-detection...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a therapeutic approach that utilizes the combination of light, a photosensitizer, and molecular oxygen to induce cell death or inactivate microorganisms. This...

An antigen is any substance that is capable of triggering an immune response in an organism. Antigens are typically proteins or large polysaccharides, although other types of molecules can also act...

An aptamer is a short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecule that can bind to a specific target molecule with high affinity and specificity. Aptamers are often referred to as chemical antibodies due to...

Intravital microscopy is an imaging technique used to visualize biological processes within living organisms, typically in real-time. Unlike traditional microscopy, which involves the examination of...

On this week’s show, we’ll talk with a researcher developing a two-in-one diagnostic and therapeutic platform for ovarian cancer. We’ll also explore a new acousto-optic modulator that allows...

An excimer laser is a type of ultraviolet laser that emits short pulses of light in the ultraviolet spectrum. The term excimer is derived from excited dimer, reflecting the nature of the gain medium...
