Since the early 1990s – and even more so in the past decade – multiphoton excited fluorescence microscopy has seen rapid growth and wide adoption as the in vivo imaging technique of choice for various areas of biological research. Today there are thousands of commercial and homemade multiphoton microscopes, all powered by femtosecond ultrafast laser systems. Developments in ultrafast laser technology have meaningfully and, in some cases, critically enabled the ubiquitous adoption and success of MPEF microscopy in thousands of laboratories and imaging centers worldwide.

A compact lens-free microscope could replace microscopes – and even expand their use – in a number of key biomedical applications, such as stem-cell culturing or in vitro drug testing. Using photonic integration, the microscope can even be microsized and used in advanced lab-on-chip systems.

Fluorescent Label Aids Whole-Brain Imaging In Vivo
A new permanent fluorescent label allows researchers to study complex neural activity in wide swaths of brain tissue in moving animals. Developed at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the label frees scientists from the need to use a microscope to observe neuronal activity.

In the past several decades, medical imaging has made huge strides. The field of MRI in particular has seen huge advancements in technical capability. Researchers continue to bring MRI to bear on new medical problems, continually expanding the range of conditions with which the technology can assist in diagnosis.

Light-Assisted 3-D Bioprinting of Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Biomaterials
Thursday, March 19, 2015, 1 p.m. EST
FREE WEBINAR
Dr. Shaochen Chen
|
|
Femtosecond laser nanoprinting and projection 3-D bioprinting techniques allow the direct writing of 3-D designer scaffolds used for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These 3-D biomaterials are functionalized with precise control of micro-architecture, mechanical (e.g. stiffness and Poisson’s ratio), chemical and biological properties. Design, fabrication, and experimental results will be discussed.
