EDITORIAL
Lighting the way to better health care Judging by the portfolio of businesses, products and technologies witnessed during the BiOS portion of SPIE’s Photonics West last month, biophotonics is clearly the technology of choice for more effective health care in the 21st century. Certainly, biophotonics in medicine has shown both promise and actual progress. That has to be a big relief for aging baby boomers and the medical community,...

Imaging eukaryotic cells in liquid with nanometer resolution So much of what needs to be learned about human and animal health, evolution, environmental science and a myriad of other topics begins and ends with cell biology. Not so long ago, researchers could look at only the most basic results when studying cell behavior: What happens if I expose a group of cells to a particular chemical, to a virus or to ultraviolet light? The images on top were...
