Illumination Advancing Fluorescence Microscopy in Life Sciences, Medical Realms
Illumination Advancing Fluorescence Microscopy in Life Sciences, Medical Realms
In many academic research and medical settings, microscopy and imaging have transitioned from using traditional lamp illumination, such as mercury and Xenon lamphouses, to solid-state LED technologies. The benefits of moving to LEDs include long lifetimes and increased stability of the light source, eliminating the need to replace or dispose of toxic bulb waste. Fluorescence microscopy, for its part, has traditionally used and been limited by the spectrum of the mercury arc lamp, which has defined the chemistry of fluorophores, as well as the excitation and emission filters used in fluorescence imaging across the world.

Build Versus Buy: Considerations in SD-OCT System Design
Build Versus Buy: Considerations in SD-OCT System Design
Many researchers and product developers using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for biomedical research and clinical treatment choose to build their own system. This requires multiple optical and mechanical components, an understanding of signal and image processing, and the optics and programming expertise needed to bring it all together — as well as a significant investment of time to assemble and calibrate the system. Using a prebuilt, off-the-shelf OCT spectrometer as one of the starting components can speed and simplify this process, reduce risk, and improve the quality of images collected.

< New Frontiers in Terahertz Technology New Frontiers in Terahertz Technology
Wed, Oct 4, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Although unique potentials of terahertz waves for chemical identification, material characterization, biological sensing, and medical imaging have been recognized for quite a while, the relatively poor performance, higher costs, and bulky nature of current terahertz systems continue to impede their deployment in field settings. In this presentation, Professor Mona Jarrahi describes some of her team’s recent results developing fundamentally new terahertz electronic and optoelectronic components as well as imaging and spectrometry architectures to mitigate the performance limitations of existing terahertz systems. Her team’s results pave the way for compact and low-cost terahertz sources, detectors, and spectrometers that could offer numerous opportunities such as, medical imaging and diagnostics, atmospheric sensing, pharmaceutical quality control, and security screening systems.
