FEATURES
Biomedical OEM Lasers Meet Trends in Therapeutics Lasers service a diverse range of biomedical applications, ranging from cosmetic fat removal and eyesight-saving photocoagulation to clinical blood cell counting. The major market driver for medical therapeutics has long been the aging “baby boomer” population of the Western regions of the world. The demands of this demographic have included medically necessary treatments, as well as...

Polarization-Resolved CRS Reveals Lipid Disorder at the Molecular Scale The neurosciences are still searching for imaging methods capable of better assisting researchers and clinicians with accurate diagnoses, appropriate treatments and a greater understanding of the...
Histology Breaks a Speed Barrier High-bandwidth sensing has brought data volumes previously unconsidered into everyday tools. Tightly coupled with this are modern, powerful computational approaches, including machine learning and...
LED Technology Advances Endoscopy Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to view or image inside the human body for surgical and diagnostic applications (Figure 1). This method was first used in the 19th century and...
EDITORIAL
Biomedical Impacts of LEDs Our cover story this month talks about advances to endoscopy brought about by the emergence of LEDs as the procedure’s preferred light source. LED systems reduce eyestrain and optimize contrast of the tissue morphology because they allow users to adjust the makeup of the light. But as Kavita Aswani, Tara Maggiano and James Clements of Excelitas explain, modern LED light sources also enable...

FLIM Delineates Tumor Margins in Real Time During surgical procedures, it is imperative to rapidly distinguish between cancer and surrounding healthy tissue and to determine where and how much tissue to cut. To improve a patient’s survival rate and quality of life, surgeons must strike a balance between minimizing the possibility of the tumor recurring by removing all cancerous tissue and maximizing organ preservation and function...
