AI brings swift diagnosis
Medical imaging modalities are now faster and more powerful than ever before, capturing thousands of images of diseased and healthy tissue. These images represent a vast resource for researchers and clinicians who track the progression of viruses or other illnesses under a microscope. The images reveal cellular dynamics that have developed within the patient, as well as similar changes in samples...

Laser Speckle Method Captures Blood Flow in Microvasculature
Researchers at the National University of Singapore developed a confocal laser speckle autocorrelation method to image dynamic flow in microvasculature. The technique is label-free and enables real-time and quantitative imaging of blood flow on the microscopic level. The system shares many characteristics of a confocal fluorescence microscope; like the confocal fluorescence microscope, it is able...
Fluorescent Dye-Based Device Could Help Prevent Tooth Decay
An optical device in development at the University of Washington (UW) could help prevent tooth decay by identifying at-risk teeth before cavities have had a chance to start to develop. The prototype,...
Committee Releases Draft of OCT Guidelines, Standards
Representatives from the business and research sectors have developed a first draft of guidelines with standardized process descriptions for optical coherence tomography (OCT). The VDI/VDE Society...
Lensless Camera Captures Cellular-Level Details in 3D
Rice University researchers have tested a tiny lensless microscope called Bio-FlatScope, capable of producing high levels of detail in living samples. The team imaged plants, hydra, and, to a limited...

The lack of standard metrology tools impedes the pace of microfluidics development
Medical imaging modalities are now faster and more powerful than ever before, capturing thousands of images of diseased and healthy tissue. These images represent a vast resource for researchers and clinicians who track the progression of viruses or other illnesses under a microscope. The images reveal cellular dynamics that have developed within the patient, as well as similar changes in samples...

The butterfly effect
Tiny changes can make a large difference in the way the world develops. This is known in chaos theory as the “butterfly effect,” a concept that may be easy to understand when it comes to how human behaviors — whether a gesture, a decision, or a habit — can affect other people. But it’s more difficult to grasp on the deeper biological level of cells, proteins, and...
