A Spotlight on Biophotonics in Canada
Canada has demonstrated its commitment to building a sustainable future for biophotonics through education, research and industrial development. Numerous initiatives exist, at federal and provincial levels, whose mandate is to establish a firm foothold for biophotonics within the global arena. For example, the Advanced Biophotonics Consortium (ABC), established in April 2003, comprises life...
Virtual Microscopy Slides into Place
Palos Pathology Associates Ltd. provides pathology services to a 300-bed community hospital in suburban Chicago, and Dr. Stephen G. Ruby, president of the company, is thinking of expanding the...
Protein Interactions Profiled Using Surface Plasmon Resonance
Proteins are the worker bees of the human body. They traverse cell membranes to receive and propagate signals, transport oxygen to every cell in the body, regulate the expression of genes and impart...

Fluorescent bacteria reveal steps in vitamin B-12 synthesis
Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) helps in the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells and is important in the maintenance of the insulation layer that surrounds nerve cells. Scientists know how virtually every...
Fluorescent probes can handle rigors of spaceflight
Two common fluorescent probes may be one step closer to a flight to Mars now that researchers have determined that the probes can withstand high doses of radiation with little degradation of their...
We got the (tiny) beat
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, both in Urbana, have the beat — at least on the nanometer scale. They have constructed a...
Biosensing with microlenses
To see something small, you need a magnifier — and that is what a group of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta turned to in developing a label-free biosensor. For...
Second-harmonic imaging with minimal damage
When researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and the University of Florence in Italy set out to optimize second-harmonic-generation microscopy, they did so to improve measurements of...
New method offers alternative to optical trapping
Researchers use optical trapping to answer a variety of biological questions. However, the technique requires optical systems with high numerical apertures and short working distances and is...
Mobile in vivo camera robots provide visual feedback in surgery
Minimally invasive surgery offers patients less trauma, shorter recovery times and less scarring. However, the small incisions used in these techniques, such as laparoscopy, restrict surgeons’...
Applied Biosystems Group
Applied Biosystems Group of Foster City, Calif., has completed the acquisition of the Research Products Div. of Ambion Inc. of Austin, Texas. The latter develops and supplies products for...

As We Go To Press
Grains of ‘nanorice’ may improve spectroscopic techniques
Composite metallic particles shaped like rice grains combine the plasmonic properties of nanorods and nanoshells, suggesting potential applications in surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopies for biomedical diagnostics and pharmacology. Developed at the Laboratory for Nanophotonics at Rice University in Houston, the “nanorice” is described in the March 11...
Nikon Small World renews call for entries
Nikon Instruments Inc. of Melville, N.Y., has renewed its call for entries for the 32nd annual Nikon Small World Competition, founded to recognize those involved with photomicrography. ...
Liquid crystals report cell differentiation
Liquid crystals — the substance used in electronic displays — also can be used to monitor stem cell differentiation. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised a...
Mosquitoes’ hearing properties profiled
Researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK have discovered that mosquitoes can respond to sound by appropriately amplifying or reducing incoming noise for optimal hearing, and they are keen...
Australian mammal demonstrates color vision
Trichromatic color vision has been thought to be unique to primates among mammals, but researchers have recently discovered that the fat-tailed dunnart, a marsupial in Australia, has functional...
