Eyes on dementia
Ophthalmologists have known for more than a decade that thinning of retinal tissue has been associated with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and its devastating destruction of brain cells that occurs well before memory loss or other impairments set in. Now optical technologies are allowing clinicians to witness these dramatic changes before their eyes and behind those of their patients. As...

Biomaterial from Bacteria Shows Promise for Photonic Applications
An international research team showed that a material created using tellurium nanorods, which are produced by naturally occurring bacteria, could be an effective nonlinear optical material that is...
Injected Nanoparticles Could Enable Sight Beyond Visible Spectrum
No mammalian photoreceptor can effectively detect light that exceeds 700 nm, and mammals are unable to see near-infrared (NIR) light or to project a NIR image to the brain. To enable the detection of...
Computational Imaging Tools Improve Lateral OCT Resolution
A new technique called optical coherence refraction tomography (OCRT) is able to increase the resolution of OCT down to a single micrometer in all directions, even in a living patient.
Intense Light Therapy Before Surgery Could Help Protect the Heart
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have found that intense light amplifies a specific gene — Period 2 (PER2) — that makes the metabolism of mice and humans...
Approach Uses Bayesian Analysis to Speed Spectroscopy Results
Scientists from Arizona State University are leveraging the tools of data science to study molecular activity more quickly than is possible through traditional fluorescence correlation spectroscopy...
Lensless Endoscope Produces 3D Images of Ultrasmall Objects
Researchers at Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden) have developed a tiny, self-calibrating endoscope that produces 3D images of objects smaller than a single cell. Without a lens or any...
AI-Based Portable App Could Help Growers Prevent Production Losses
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) and transfer learning are being applied to just-in-time crop disease detection, through the introduction of a new smartphone tool developed for banana...
Multiphoton Microscopy Reveals Lattice Network of Skin Fibers
Using multiphoton microscopy (MPM), researchers at Kyoto University showed that the collagen fibers in the skin are arranged in a mesh-like lattice and not in a clear geometric orientation as...

Optics links brain research to behavior
Optics and microscopy have always played important roles in neuroscience. The innovations brought by optogenetics and fiber photometry, in the context of freely moving animals and behavioral research, have only reinforced those roles. Conventional microscopy has been complemented by imaging of individual neuronal activity within a selected group of tagged neurons by a miniature fluorescent...

Sharks reign aglow
The notoriety of “Shark Week” may be getting a flashy new upgrade, thanks to the phenomenon of glowing sharks. Certain shark species have been found to biofluoresce, illuminating the deep blue water in their vicinity with a light, bright green that is visible only to other sharks. The source of this light was previously unknown, but we now know that the hue is made possible by a...
