'Water Window' Poses Imaging Prospect

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The “water window” of biological tissue can be exploited to achieve high-contrast microscope images, as well as precision spectroscopy, according to a new theoretical study. Researchers from the Center for Pulsed Lasers said they have identified the physical mechanism to efficiently generate high-order harmonic radiation at high laser intensities beyond the saturation threshold of atoms and molecules. It should be possible to develop coherent radiation in the 3.3- to 4.4-nm range that is not absorbed by the water in biological tissues, the researchers said. The lack of...Read full article
