Imaging is an expansive market where technological advances in microscopy, lasers and other techniques are resulting in a growing number of applications and functions. Among imaging techniques, multiphoton excitation microscopy is becoming increasingly popular for biomedical research in areas such as neuroscience, where deeper and quicker imaging is needed. Fluorescence microscopy is a developing method for studying tissue in situ and in real time. Optical coherence tomography imaging is used in ophthalmology, in dermatology for diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, and in...Read full article

    fluorescence microscopy
    Fluorescence microscopy is a specialized optical imaging technique used in biology, chemistry, and materials science to visualize and study specimens that exhibit fluorescence. Fluorescence is the phenomenon where a substance absorbs light at one wavelength and emits light at a longer wavelength. In fluorescence microscopy, fluorescent dyes or proteins are used to label specific structures or molecules within a sample. The basic principles of fluorescence microscopy involve illuminating the...
    ophthalmology
    Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eyes and visual system. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye disorders and diseases. They are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including medical, surgical, and optical interventions. Key areas within ophthalmology include: General eye care: Ophthalmologists perform routine eye examinations to assess visual acuity,...
    monochromator
    Also known as monochromatic illuminator. An instrument for isolating narrow portions of the spectrum. The spectrum of any light source is formed by a prism or grating, and an exit slit placed in the spectrum selects a narrow band of wavelengths for emission. By moving the spectrum of a source internally past the slit, the color of the emitted light can be varied at will. As most monochromators emit several percentages of unwanted light -- either white or of the wrong wavelength -- along with...
