Laser Direct IR Imaging Projects Microplastics Analysis Contamination of soil, air, and drinking water by microplastics is a growing focus of attention around the world. Environmental agencies are increasing the monitoring of waterways, and governmental...
Raman Imaging Opens View to Diagnosis and Discovery By revealing the chemical composition of samples, Raman microscopy has proved to be useful in many fields, including medical diagnosis, materials science, cosmetics, and food science. For the...
3D Thermophotonic Imaging Informs Biomedicine Imaging plays an important role in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and new technologies are helping to overcome many limitations to resolution and depth. Early diagnosis of diseases can...
Portable Microscopy Leverages Advancements in Electronics and Computing Spurred by Moore’s law, the principle that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years, the miniaturization of electronic components has resulted in optical devices shrinking as...
EDITORIAL
A deep dive into tissue Our cover story in this edition relates how Raman imaging allows for the examination of cells and tissue, which can help to analyze a whole range of pathologies and conditions. Bioimaging is most effective when focusing on a particular anomaly inside or outside of the body. Recent unrelated research shows that the brain is also most focused when concentrating on a single problem. Using NIR...

Three-photon imaging enhances medicine Researchers may soon be able to harness three-photon microscopy to enable new discoveries in regenerative medicine, leukemia, and Alzheimer’s disease, thanks to a new project led by Heriot-Watt University. This imaging technique resolves deep into tissue, where some of the mysteries of debilitating conditions could be unlocked. Researchers are working to develop a platform that is...

Spider silk spins a stronger lens It turns out that some high-level problems in biomedical imaging can be solved with “supplies” found in the basement. Actually, unused storage areas may be literally crawling with sources of these materials. Why? Because spider silk can be used to make superior optical lenses. Researchers at Tamkang University and National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan turned to spider silk when...
