Fluorescence Sensing Identifies Cancer Indicators in the Brain
Researchers at the University Hospital Münster and Paris-Saclay University established a method to correct for artifacts caused by changes in blood flow, and recorded cell-specific lactate levels in rat brains using fluorescence signals from fiber-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensors. While FRET is known to be useful for studying neurophysiology through microscopy, its use for in vivo studies is limited by artifacts that appear in the FRET recordings.

Internal Reflection-Based Microscopy Images Single Protein
A team from Arizona State University has introduced evanescent scattering microscopy (ESM), a label-free method for sensitive imaging of biomolecules, including proteins. The single-molecule microscopy technique is based on total internal reflection, an optical phenomenon that occurs when light passes from a high-refractive medium, like glass, into a low-refractive medium, like water.

CEA-Leti Developing Lensless Microbial Identification Tech
CEA-Leti and CEA-Irig have developed a lensless imaging technology capable of identifying bacteria with more than 95% accuracy. The device aims to address the problem of antimicrobial resistance, which is an increasing public health problem. According to the World Health Organization, drug-resistant diseases will cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050 if a solution to the problem is not introduced.

Wavelength Selective Optical Filters: Providing More Signal and Less Background for PCR Instruments
Thu, Jul 7, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Engineers creating polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instrumentation face unique challenges in both qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using end-point analysis and quantitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using real-time analysis. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real time require a favorable signal-to-noise ratio, combined with the utmost sensitivity. Jason Palidwar of Iridian Spectral Technologies shares the role photonics and optical filters play in qPCR instruments along with the challenges presented by their specification, design, and manufacture.
