WEBINAR
Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine: A Digital Conference

Thursday, June 11, from 1 to 5 p.m. EDT

FREE WEBINAR

Researchers from around the world will present their latest work at “Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine: A Digital Conference.” The online event will feature a series of 15- and 30-minute talks, each followed by a brief question-and-answer period. Presentations will focus on a range of light-based imaging and microscopy techniques for diagnosing and assessing illness, and for studying other attributes and functions of biological tissue in a medical context. Topics include wavefront engineering for in vivo deep tissue engineering, deep UV excitation microscopy for slide-free pathology, quantitative phase digital holographic microscopy, photoacoustic analysis, multimode fiber endoscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), microscopy and lens-free microscopy.
