EDITORIAL
VIS-OCT offers sight line The benefits of optical coherence tomography (OCT) have long been known as an imaging tool in ophthalmology, enabling the examination of the eye at microscopic resolution. But what may not be widely appreciated is that the use of visible light sources can improve upon the results of this well-developed technique in the detection and understanding of various eye-related diseases such as macular...

BIOPINION
Illumination in microscopy often overlooked As scientists engage in the development and manufacture of high-performance lighting, we find it frustrating to encounter a lack of appreciation for the illumination source in the successful application of light microscopy. Like that other pervasive illumination source, the sun, microscope light sources are commonly taken for granted. It often seems they only draw attention when they are absent....

The faster the flow, the brighter the glow Going with the flow is rarely a bad thing. Unless you’re talking about the notorious pathogen Pseudomonas. The bacterium is almost always surrounded by flowing water, and researchers are using part of that phenomenon to measure the flow of cells within the body. They discovered that the pathogen detects flow and changes its behavior accordingly by activating genes that the Princeton-based...
