Imaging is an expansive market where technological advances in microscopy, lasers and other techniques are resulting in a growing number of applications and functions. Among imaging techniques, multiphoton excitation microscopy is becoming increasingly popular for biomedical research in areas such as neuroscience, where deeper and quicker imaging is needed. Fluorescence microscopy is a developing method for studying tissue in situ and in real time. Optical coherence tomography imaging is used in ophthalmology, in dermatology for diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, and in...Read full article

    GLOSSARY
    fluorescence microscopy
    Observation of samples using excitation produced fluorescence. A sample is placed within the excitation laser and the plane of observation is scanned. Emitted photons from the sample are filtered by a long pass dichroic optic and are detected and recorded for digital image reproduction.
    ophthalmology
    The branch of medicine involved in the study of the anatomy, functions, diseases and treatments of the eye.
    monochromator
    Also known as monochromatic illuminator. An instrument for isolating narrow portions of the spectrum. The spectrum of any light source is formed by a prism or grating, and an exit slit placed in the spectrum selects a narrow band of wavelengths for emission. By moving the spectrum of a source internally past the slit, the color of the emitted light can be varied at will. As most monochromators emit several percentages of unwanted light -- either white or of the wrong wavelength -- along with...
