The Eyes Behind Surgical Robots
The first robotic surgery took place in 1985 when the PUMA 560 was used in a stereotaxic operation in which computed tomography (or x-ray) was used intraoperatively to guide a robot as it inserted a needle into the brain for biopsy. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, robotic systems began to be used for laparoscopic surgery, in which a flexible optical instrument was inserted into the body and...
Deconvolution Helps Break Down Imaging Barriers
Deconvolution is a computationally intensive image processing technique used to improve the contrast and sharpness of images captured with a light microscope. Light microscopes are diffraction...
Compressive Raman Bioimaging: The Need for Speed in Medicine
Conventional bright-field microscopy is the standard for biomedical imaging because it provides cost-effective clinical analysis. However, for researchers and clinicians to assess tissue images...
The American Society for Cell Biology Looks to Convert Research into Reality
The 2019 Annual Meeting and Conference of the American Society for Cell Biology and European Molecular Biology Organization (ASCB|EMBO) will be held Dec. 7-11 at the Walter E. Washington Convention...
Quantitative Phase Imaging Aims at Penetrating Thick Tissues
In 1942, phase microscopy revolutionized biological imaging because it enabled clear visualization of cells and their internal contents without labels or stains. This empowered biologists to study...
Editorial
Deconvolution makes it clear
Diffraction-limited microscopy presents a challenge in the laboratory because, depending on the depth desired, structures can be blurred or resolved in areas that change the location of the final image. This is where deconvolution can be a valuable tool, building on the point spread function (PSF) of the microscope and generating iterations of an image until it resembles the true state of a...

Photoacoustic Technology Could Revolutionize Cancer Surgery
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, have developed photoacoustic technology that can precisely locate and distinguish all of a cancerous tumor during surgery. This could help ensure that healthy tissue remains intact while cancerous tissue is removed and potentially eliminate the need for numerous surgeries.
Nanolaser Proves Fully Functional Within Living Tissue
Researchers at Northwestern University have created a nanolaser that can be used in living tissues without harming them. Developed in conjunction with a team from Columbia University, the nanolaser...
Spectrometer Measures Effects of Photon Momentum in Strong-Field Ionization
Einstein received the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect — that, simply put, a single atom is irradiated with light. Einstein believed that light consists of photons that transfer...
AI, Deep Learning Allow More Accurate Eye Testing with OCT
Researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia are now able to analyze OCT images of the eye closer and more accurately than ever before. OCT is commonly used by optometrists...
Integrated Silicon Carbide Optical Switch Can Be Thermally Tuned

Visible-Light-Activated Prodrug Can Combat Chemo’s Side Effects
Many antitumor drugs used in chemotherapy move around in the patient’s blood after intake. Healthy cells may be killed along with tumor cells, causing undesirable side effects. To avert potential...
Spectroscopy Technique Widens Spectra for Measuring Molecular Structure
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have combined two current spectroscopy techniques — infrared (IR) absorption and Raman scattering spectrometry — to create complementary vibrational...
Light-Activated Hybrid Bots Drive Muscle Activity Through Nerve Cells
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed soft, microscopic, swimming biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle tissue that is stimulated by onboard motor...

Standards boost impact of biophotonics tools
Reliability and reproducibility of results are crucial in the development of medical technology, and it is time for those involved in supporting and implementing research to devise standards and related phantoms for success in biophotonics. Fragmented efforts must be consolidated, and they must be enhanced with contributions by people and organizations ranging from technology developers to...

Crystals’ beauty more than skin deep
Calling someone a “chameleon” is generally considered a pejorative. When referring to shifting colors in applications of science and medicine, however, it may be a different story, thanks to a team of researchers who have been studying — and attempting to replicate — the optical attributes of a chameleon’s skin. For years, scientists have been working to mimic the...
