Fluorescence LED Illumination Systems Can Be Customized for Life Sciences Applications Automation is a widespread trend across the life sciences, maximizing throughput and efficiency in applications such as drug development and clinical testing. For example, high-throughput screening...
Tapping the Terahertz: Capturing Clues in Tissue Hydration Due to its low photon energy and ability to penetrate certain types of materials, terahertz imaging holds a great deal of promise for the identification of key biological indicators —...
LEDs and Multi-Bandpass Filters Work in Tandem to Transform Fluorescence Instrumentation Fluorescence stands as a cornerstone technology in the realm of bioanalysis. Fluorescence is one of the most sensitive spectroscopic quantification techniques, and fluorescence microscopy methods,...
NIR Spectroscopy Provides a Chemical Perspective on the Composition of Teeth While dentistry has become increasingly sophisticated, uncertainties still exist in the diagnosis and treatment of dental conditions that are left to the discretion of the practitioner. Part of the...
Editorial
Terahertz gets skin-deep Due to high absorption in water, terahertz waves don’t travel deeply in tissue. So, in the clinic, terahertz imaging has often focused on surface water content and structural details — ideally suited for dermatology. Those who enjoyed the related theme last issue will learn more in this edition about what the terahertz regime may offer in skin cancer diagnostics and ulcer...

3 Questions with Weijian Yang BioPhotonics spoke with Weijian Yang, an associate professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Davis and a leader of a team that developed a two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed neural activity. The system, described in Optica, uses a line of light, rather than a dot of light, to scan and illuminate the brain area...
BioOpinion
The Brave New World of Diagnostic R&D Optical technologies have revolutionized many aspects of modern health care. From automated microscopy and digital pathology to diverse bioanalytic platforms, optics are central to laboratory diagnostics. Molecular (i.e., DNA/RNA-based) diagnostics epitomize the value of photonic-driven technology. Nucleic acid amplification testing and next-generation sequencing rely largely upon fluorescence...

You’re gonna need a bigger LED strip Duunnn dunnn … duuuunnnn duun … duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun: This is presumably the tune that plays in every swimmer’s mind when they wade into the open ocean. But it may just be the right light display, rather than the right musical intonation, that could keep that threat in the shadows. While John Williams’ score helped strike fear into the hearts of...
