In memoriam: Michael S. Feld, laser and spectroscopy pioneer
Just after our May-June issue deadline had passed, we received word that Michael S. Feld, an OSA fellow and professor of physics at MIT, had passed away at 69 on April 10 in Jamaica Plain, Mass., after an eight-year struggle with cancer. It is always sad to lose a member of the photonics community, but this loss is an especially heavy blow. Feld had been the director of the MIT George R. Harrison...

Imaging live cells in high resolution
Paul D. Ashby wanted a better picture of what is happening in live cells. But Ashby, a researcher in the Imaging and Manipulation of Nanostructures Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, understood the limitations of currently available imaging tools. Optical microscopy has the diffraction limit; electron microscopy requires drying of the cell. “There’s a real gap...
Switching brain cells on and off using multicolored light
Optogenetics – an emerging field of research that involves selectively switching brain cells on and off using flashes of light – could provide scientists with a better understanding of...
Synchronized image capture gets to the heart of the matter
The average human heart beats 60 to 70 times per minute, but that of a mouse can reach up to 600 to 700 beats per minute. Capturing this rapid movement on video or with still images requires some of...

NKT Photonics and Fianium settle; everybody wins
With the lawsuit over, dueling press releases followed. In May, publicly owned NKT Photonics A/S of Birkerød and privately held Fianium Ltd. of Southampton announced settlement of the lawsuit between them. Both claimed to have won. Resolving this seeming contradiction required careful reading of the releases and the court order. The take-away is that both companies will continue to supply...

Synchrotron research for the “dinobirds”
Archaeology is all about the moment of discovery. One can follow the historical clues and look for visible cues for likely places to find buried treasure troves of knowledge, but the excitement comes when you dig and poke and brush and scrape away the earth to – at long last – uproot a prize specimen, whether a fossilized microflora, a whole skeleton of a heretofore unknown animal or...
