Prism Awards Highlight Photonics Innovation
Avotec, Biodesy and Convergent Dental are among 27 finalists in nine categories for the 2016 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation. The awards are sponsored by SPIE, the international society for...
Top Biophotonics Stories of 2015
A pair of studies released last November indicate that the global biophotonics market hit its stride in 2015 and will significantly grow in size over the next five years. One of those studies, by...
Surgical Lasers Make the Cut
In surgery, the best cut is often the smallest. Because they enable precision targeting and can minimize tissue trauma, lasers offer an advantage in surgery. What’s more, they can deliver...
Can Confocal Microscopes Compete with the Emergence of Superresolution?
Like most things, confocal microscopes have improved with age. The technique dates back to 1955, when American cognitive scientist Professor Marvin Minsky proposed that the ideal microscope would...
EDITORIAL
Invention Is Behind Amazing Images
Over the years, the cover of BioPhotonics magazine has featured some amazing images, and this issue is no exception. Courtesy of York Rudhard, Evotec AG, we can appreciate the visual of primary dorsal root ganglion neurons co-cultured with primary rat astrocytes. Thanks to BioPhotonics editor James Schlett and art director Sue Schmidt, the addition of drawings from inventor Marvin Minsky’s...

Calibration Sharpens Superresolution Microscopes
Superresolution microscopes can be made even sharper with arrays of nanoscale apertures that compensate for optical aberrations more effectively than previous techniques. The arrays allow for more...
Viral Method Aids Two-Photon Imaging of Primate Brains
Tailored viruses that make brain cells manufacture fluorophores could make two-photon microscopy techniques viable for studying primate brains. Tested first in marmosets, the technique could for the...
Optofluidic Systems Detect Ebola, Flu Viruses
A chip-scale hybrid device integrates a microfluidic chip for sample preparation and an optofluidic chip for optical detection of Ebola and other viral pathogenic RNA molecules. A small, dedicated...
Application Note: Temperature-Controlled Stages Avoid Heat Damage to Cells
Temperature-controlled stages have been used to fend off heat damage to cells caused by illumination in correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) experiments. A research group at the...
'Golden Window' Eyed for Deeper Tissue Imaging
Longer wavelengths in the near-infrared range may offer a "golden window" for noninvasive but deep imaging of brain and breast tissue, City College of New York researchers have proposed. Current one-...
Optogenetics Pioneers Ed Boyden, Karl Deisseroth, Gero Miesenböck Garner International Research Prizes

Plastic Fluorescence Microscope Brings Diagnostic Care to Rural Poor
A miniature plastic digital fluorescence microscope that can quantify white blood cell levels in patients aims to improve disease detection in rural parts of the world. The inexpensive point-of-care...
Efficient Spectroscopic Imaging Demonstrated In Vivo
Although optical spectroscopy is routinely used study molecules in cell samples, it is currently not practical to perform in vivo. Now, a converted Raman spectroscopy system has been used to reveal...
Optogenetics Probes Create Their Own Light
A novel class of proteins that create their own light could improve the versatility, scalability and practicality of optogenetics. Researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of...
NIR Light Effectively Treats Traumatic Brain Injury
A longitudinal study has revealed near-infrared light to be an effective treatment for traumatic brain injury, a condition which brings over 2.5 million individuals to the emergency room each year....
