The Road to P West

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Jan. 10, 2011 — I may have mentioned a time or two before: I am an inveterate road tripper, an unapologetic bird of passage, an excursionist in the grand arcades and back alleys of mythic America. In my book no motel is too seedy, too riddled with bullet holes. And no roadside attraction is too patently ridiculous. After the holidays, I found myself – and, importantly, my car – in the wilds of northern New Jersey. The Photonics West meeting, I knew, would be kicking off in San Francisco in a matter of weeks. So I submitted to my less-than-practical instincts, jumped in the ol’ Camry...Read full article

    fluorescence lifetime imaging
    Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is an advanced imaging technique that provides information about the lifetime of fluorescence emissions from fluorophores within a sample. Unlike traditional fluorescence imaging, which relies on the intensity of emitted light, FLIM focuses on the time a fluorophore remains in its excited state before returning to the ground state. This fluorescence lifetime is influenced by the local environment and can be used for various applications in biological and...
    optogenetics
    A discipline that combines optics and genetics to enable the use of light to stimulate and control cells in living tissue, typically neurons, which have been genetically modified to respond to light. Only the cells that have been modified to include light-sensitive proteins will be under control of the light. The ability to selectively target cells gives researchers precise control. Using light to control the excitation, inhibition and signaling pathways of specific cells or groups of...
