Challenges to CARS Microscopy: Light at the End of the Tunnel
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy historically has struggled to break into a marketplace already crowded with popular imaging techniques such as fluorescence microscopy and with new superresolution techniques such as STORM (stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy) and STED (stimulated emission depletion microscopy). Although fluorescence microscopy may still be the most...
OCT Technologies, Applications Showing Great Promise
A panel of industry experts weighs in on recent and future advances in optical coherence tomography, and offers a look at the market. OCT is growing. As we reported in the July issue, the optical...
Magnification Fluoroscopy Technique Drives Advances in Clinical Studies

EDITORIAL
Healing Light Reaching Its Potential
Light-based technologies, including those used in medical research, health care and across the life sciences, will be the center of attention in 2015 following the proclama tion late last month of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies by the UN General Assembly. The announcement underscores the need to raise awareness of all light-based technologies and their potential to...

New microscopes reveal cells with unprecedented clarity
Two new microscopes, both the first of their kind, could help biologists observe how the brain develops and viruses attack, say researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The first captures small, fast-moving organisms at an unprecedented rate and double the spatial resolution of a conventional microscope; the second displays large-cell samples in 3-D while decreasing the amount of...
Photoacoustic spectroscopy takes sting out of glucose testing
A noninvasive method involving mid-IR photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) could make life easier for the more than 347 million people worldwide who live with diabetes. One key to healthful living with...
Light triggers death switch in cancer cells
Light pulses can stimulate a new designer peptide to initiate death pathways in cancer cells. The peptide, linked to a light-responsive dye, remains inactive until exposed to the external light...
THz Lens a New Tool for Biology
A new terahertz lens made of plastic and metal has 10 times the resolution of any current metamaterial lens, making it a powerful tool for biological imaging, its creators say. The metamaterial lens...
Can Lasers Cure Alzheimer’s Disease?
The malfunctioning protein structures that cause diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s can be found using just laser light, a team in Sweden and Poland has discovered. Researchers...
Replacing Mammography with Light and Ultrasound
A new device called a photoacoustic mammoscope combines infrared light and ultrasound to create 3-D maps of the breast. Its creators hope that it could someday replace the x-rays used in traditional...
Light-Activated Implants Signal Specific Deep Tissue
A number of novel therapies under development rely on inducing specific cells to do specific things, but getting the right message to the right group of cells — and at the right time —...
Raman Scattering Sped Up for Microscopy
Improvements to Raman spectroscopy using laser frequency combs allow multiple signals from different parts of a molecule — or even different molecules — to be monitored simultaneously...
207-nm UV Light May Reduce Surgical Infections
A narrow spectrum of ultraviolet light can destroy drug-resistant bacteria but is safe for human exposure, a new study says, and may be a way to reduce the serious and stubborn problem of surgical...

Small World winners highlight the art of photomicrography
What do a diatom, a turtle retina, a marine worm, a paramecium, a neuron and a chameleon embryo all have in common? Well, they all look pretty under a microscope – and they’re the subjects of the top six winners in the 2013 Nikon Small World Photo-micrography Competition. First prize went to longtime competitor Wim van Egmond of the Netherlands for his image Chaetoceros debilis...
