Raman Spectroscopy Probes the Etiology of Amyloidogenic Disease The urgent need for rationally designed treatments of Alzheimer’s disease and other amyloidogenic disorders is more relevant than ever; there is a predicted 7% increase of cases of Alzheimer’s by 2025 in people aged 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Several lines of evidence suggest that amyloid-ß (Aß) fibril structure is intimately linked to the pathophysiological features,...
Making the Photon Count in Confocal Microscopy When used appropriately, a laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscope is a valuable tool for researchers to make quantitative measurements in cells and tissue across various life sciences...
Bringing Laser Speckle Imaging to the Point of Care While laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) has historically been confined to a bulky benchtop configuration, multiple research teams have recently developed hand-held and wearable laser speckle...
Single Fiber Endoscopy Records Neural and Vascular Detail The growing incidence of chronic diseases around the world has driven the expansion of techniques to provide diagnosis at the source, which would ideally involve a minimally invasive — but...

Editorial
Fiber plots a focused diagnostic path When ancestors of modern endoscopy first peered into cavities of the human body, they used candlelight or burned a mixture of alcohol and turpentine, which illuminated a thin tube equipped with a lens. In the 19th century, the French inventor Antonin Jean Desormeaux, who is regarded as the father of endoscopy, used such a device to guide chemical cauterization, a simple and painful procedure in...

3 Questions with Eric Diebold BioPhotonics spoke with Eric Diebold, worldwide vice president of research and development at BD Biosciences, who leads product and technology development for the biosciences business unit within Becton Dickinson. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and physics from Duke University and his Ph.D. in applied physics from Harvard University. He spoke to us about the...
BioOpinion
Strong Standards Needed for Metrology and Raman Analysis Raman analysis faces several obstacles in meeting objective regulatory requirements — such as the lack of traceable quantification methods and absence of certified reference materials — which prevents its widespread use. Raman spectroscopy does not have an underlying metrological infrastructure, such as standardization allowing measurements to be linked to a quantity in the...

Researchers tattoo nanotech to live cells For some, tattoos are an expression of freedom: a piece of body art that will either prove to be a cool investment or a terrible regret once one realizes that the writing permanently etched into their skin reads “born to be mild” instead of “born to be wild.” But while tattoos are intended to enhance the wearer’s image in some way, in the research laboratory,...
