Challenges and Opportunities in Superresolution Much of our understanding of biology has come from our ability to image biological processes and structures through microscopes. But until recently, the imaging of intracellular structures and...
EDITORIAL
Breakthroughs in Live Imaging Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) allows researchers to learn about molecular-level interactions in live specimens. The process yields more robust results than intensity-based imaging techniques, and it’s been part of researchers’ toolboxes for around a decade. It also holds great promise for surgeons and other clinicians because it can distinguish nondestructively...

Adoption Depends on Meeting Clinical Needs Every year, I am amazed and impressed by the number and variety of presentations at conferences in the field of biophotonics. We are blessed by the seemingly endless ways to manipulate and measure light, relatively inexpensively, in our pursuit of powerful new ways to understand, diagnose and treat disease. Much human ingenuity has been applied to overcoming difficult technical problems and...

AR Visor Delivers Sci-Fi Capabilities Think of them as safety glasses — with an emphasis on safety — for the surgeon and for the patient. A photonics device that surgeons wear during a procedure can superimpose patients’ x-rays over their bodies in perfect unison with their anatomy, and it can give the wearer instant access to a patient’s medical data. This device could reduce surgery times and improve the...
