Karen A. Newman, Group Publisher, [email protected] Photonics Media has been producing its successful webinar series for more than four years, and our editors are always looking for exciting speakers to present new topics and interesting research. I am pleased to announce the latest addition to the series; it comes with a format twist I think you’ll like. Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine: A Digital Conference, will be presented from 1 to 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 11, 2015. Presentations will focus on a range of light-based imaging and microscopy techniques for diagnosing and assessing illness, and for studying other attributes...Read full articleRelated content from Photonics MediaARTICLESPortable Biosensor Uses Light at Nanoscale to Detect Sepsis in MinutesTime is critical when diagnosing sepsis, but the tests currently used to identify this disease can take up to 72 hours.

Each approach exhibits advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type of light detector and acquisition method employed.The term fluorescence is often applied as a synonym for photoluminescence, although luminescence actually covers fluorescence and phosphorescence. Both of these terms describe the process of...Photonics HandbookUltraviolet Reflectance Imaging: Applications: Ultraviolet imaging has long been thought to be difficult and awkward by many photographers because of the difficulties encountered when using photographic film in the UV band. Digital ultraviolet imaging is becoming increasingly affordable and lends itself to a number of interesting applications that have been largely overlooked, and digital sensors are available that span the UV spectrum from 200 to 400 nm.Reflected-ultraviolet imaging is a rather mysterious area of the imaging field. There is relatively little actual UV imagery to be found on the Internet or in the literature compared to near-infrared...Photonics HandbookSuperresolution Microscopy: An Imaging Revolution: Despite tremendous accomplishments in recent years, superresolution microscopy is a relatively young field, and confusion exists in this domain of many abbreviations.
