Top Biophotonics Stories of 2014

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
QCL-based glucose testing, hyperspectral imaging and molecular techniques lead the list of the year’s most popular stories. The brain is having a big year. At the end of September, the National Photonics Initiative launched the Photonics Industry Neuroscience Group, an industry consortium that includes several well-known photonics companies. The industry leaders plan to invest upwards of $30 million for photonics research and development in support of the White House’s BRAIN Initiative. Targeted technologies include the following: imaging optics, laser sources, automated...Read full article

    superresolution
    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
