Top Biophotonics Stories of 2014 QCL-based glucose testing, hyperspectral imaging and molecular techniques lead the list of the year's most popular stories.
Global-Shutter vs. Rolling-Shutter Readouts New sCMOS cameras overcome rolling-shutter artifacts by combining the best of both global and rolling shutters to achieve the simultaneous exposure with all rows, all while maintaining the frame rate...
STED Microscopy Made Easy Stimulated emission depletion microscopy surpasses diffraction-limited microscopy by offering much more information about structures. Combining STED with time-tagged data acquisition methods makes...
Collaboration Advances Intraoperative Assessment of Tumor Margins Physicians, companies come together to address clinical translation issues. It’s a long-standing truth: For the biophotonics community to meet the needs and constraints of the medical field and...
EDITORIAL
Celebrating Light and Life Once again, we find ourselves on the threshold of a new year – and what a year it will be for the photonics industry and biophotonic technologies! The International Year of Light kicks off in January with festive opening ceremonies in Paris, but the calendar started filling some time ago. You can see the list of exciting events to be held around the world at the official website,...

OCT Poised To Expand Beyond Eye Care Optical coherence tomography (OCT) will grow beyond ophthalmology applications into a €1 billion global market by 2019, the research group Tematys predicts.
LightPath Caps ‘Year of Investment’ LightPath Technologies Inc. closed the books on fiscal 2014 June 30 with a net loss of $313,000 following what it called “a year of investment in our future.” The loss compared with net...
Zeiss Reports Revenue Growth Despite Currency Effects Carl Zeiss Meditec AG recently reported revenue of €673.7 million (about $878.8 million) in the first nine months of its fiscal year, an increase of 3.8 percent from the same period in the...
POST SCRIPTS
Taking Cues From The Sea When man copies nature, it tends to be a smart move. Using nature’s design and strategy to solve human problems can allow us to bypass a lot of experimentation. One of the earliest instances of biomimicry may be Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches for a “flying machine” that mimics the wings of a bat. And architects have used the design of an egg – nature’s strongest,...
