“This is a room filled with problem solvers, and this world is filled with problems that optics can solve biomedically.” – R. Rox Anderson, MD, co-chairman, BiOS Symposium So began the BiOS Hot Topics session at SPIE Photonics West in January, where roughly 1000 audience members heard about breakthroughs and challenges on subjects ranging from early cancer detection with coherence imaging to advances in fluorescence and optoacoustic imaging for a variety of applications. Daniel Palanker of Stanford University brought my favorite. He described a photovoltaic retinal...Read full article

    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
