FPGA-Based Data Compression Drives Brain Imaging Performance Gains
To help broaden the use of single-photon avalanche diode cameras for multispeckle diffuse correlation spectroscopy, researchers at the University of Edinburgh developed a data compression scheme for a large-pixel-count SPAD camera using a field-programmable gate array. The camera system’s large sensor array enabled a substantial signal-to-noise ratio gain over a single-pixel system. The researchers demonstrated an SNR gain of 110, with respect to single-pixel multispeckle DCS, using half of the 192 × 128 SPAD array.

Low-Cost Camera Helps Forecast Volcanic Eruptions
To help scientists track volcanic events over the long term and predict future eruptions, an international team has designed a low-cost, low-power sulfur dioxide camera for permanent deployment on volcanoes around the world. The camera will allow volcanologists to monitor geochemical changes in volcanoes on a continuous basis during daylight hours.

The complementary strengths of fluorescence and vibrational microscopy are combined in a new technique developed at Caltech, called bond-selective fluorescence-detected infrared-excited spectro-microscopy (BonFIRE). BonFIRE will benefit biological investigations by providing researchers with rich chemical information as well as single-molecule sensitivity. “With our new microscope, we can now visualize single molecules with vibrational contrast, which is challenging to do with existing technologies,” researcher Dongkwan Lee said.

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong showed that biological tissue can be imaged with greater sensitivity through remote sensing of photoacoustic signals than through conventional photoacoustic imaging techniques. The researchers demonstrated a near-infrared, photoacoustic remote sensing microscopy technique for noncontact imaging of lipids. The technique enabled broad detection bandwidth, deep penetration depth, and a high signal-to-noise ratio for the imaging of biological samples, in addition to enabling noncontact implementation.
