High-Speed Photoacoustic Microscopy Captures Processes Within Tissue When Alexander Graham Bell discovered the photoacoustic effect in the 1880s, he might not have envisioned that this technology would ultimately be successfully implemented in biomedical imaging...
Dynamic Light-Scattering Method Could Guide Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Treatment The early detection of neurologic damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease, before symptoms have appeared, is integral to the development of effective treatments. Early detection, made possible by...
Aptamers Provide Instant Photonics-Based Diagnostics Aptamer-based diagnostics is a new field in the development of technologies for instantly identifying disease. Aptamers are short sequences (oligonucleotides) of DNA or RNA that bind to a specific...
Raman Spectroscopy Identifies Disease Characteristics and In Vitro Structure Since the invention of lasers and their integration into Raman spectroscopy systems, the spectroscopy technique has grown in popularity for use in life science and medical applications as a way to...
EDITORIAL
An unprecedented view of the origins of disease Photoacoustic microscopy is allowing researchers and clinicians an unprecedented view — based on the technique’s ability to reveal information about the circulation of cells throughout the body — of the origins of disease. It is also opening a window into the innate abilities of animal species to adapt to their environments. For example, photoacoustic microscopy has revealed the...

Microscope Captures High-Speed Images of Living Cells in 3D A limitation to conventional microscopy imaging, in which a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide, is that the behavior of the cells may differ from their natural environment. Further, the...
Diode Demonstration Establishes Efficient Route to Sterile Settings Since their introduction in the 1960s, laser diodes have been developed and commercialized for a number of applications with wavelengths ranging from infrared to blue-violet. Examples of this...
3D-Printed Achromatic Metalens Brings Fiber Imaging Into Focus Because light of different wavelengths is shaped and refracted differently, lenses located on the end faces of optical fibers can experience strong chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration can lead...
3 QUESTIONS
3 Questions with Dr. Donald Patthoff BioPhotonics spoke with Dr. Donald Patthoff, who practices general dentistry in Martinsburg, W.Va., and is editor of the Journal of Laser Dentistry and co-author of the book Dental Ethics at Chairside: Professional Obligations and Practical Applications. Patthoff is also the co-founder and co-director of the Foundation for Photobiomodulation Research (PBM Foundation). He discusses the need to...
BIOPINION
Priorities differ in industry and academia Most scientists work either in academia or in business. The cultural differences between the academic and business environments in the photonics community can be boiled down to some basic concepts that the scientist must consider when choosing what course his or her career path will take. Common to both environments is the need for integrity — for words, actions, and expectations to be internally...
POST SCRIPTS
Insect preference drawn from the color wheel People often make dietary choices based on visual appeal. But this is basic instinct for insects. While insect species may not interpret their surroundings by sight in the same way that humans do, insects do use their eyes to gather information about survival — including visual color cues about what looks good to eat. Aphids, for example, are notorious for feasting on vital crops in agricultural...

Compact Spectrometers The compact ROCK VIS and VIS-NIR spectrometers from Ibsen Photonics are designed for blood gas analysis. The devices feature a form factor of 75 × 50 × 30 mm, high throughput, and low stray light. They typically enable 4 × higher optical throughput than traditional spectrometers due to a low f-number of f/2.5 and the use of efficient transmission gratings using a...
