Of Microscopy and Dust Motes: Our Quotable Year
2012 was another year of optimism and advancement in biophotonics. Comments from our pages made by just a few of the year’s news makers illustrate the field’s development and the sparks of inspiration that ignited some of those discoveries: “This field was nonexistent before 1984. That’s when we discovered you could use the colors of light to detect cancer. When you shine...
