Do No Harm
JAMES SCHLETT, EDITOR
Even though doctors are not bound to the requirement to do no harm, they should generally aim to inflict as little of it as possible, given the patient’s condition and circumstances. And this issue of BioPhotonics highlights how photonics are stepping in to help ophthalmologists to do just that.

OCT Angiography Opens Eyes
The U.S. ophthalmology market over the past year has seen the first wave of commercial optical coherence tomography angiography systems, but this technology must overcome certain limitations before reaching ‘gold standard’ status.

Genetically encoded fluorescent sensors are providing a way to track the mobilization of labile heme in cells. The sensors offer significant insight into the nature and dynamics of this potentially dangerous nutrient of which there has been little understanding until now.

A novel fusion-imaging technique uses MRI to guide the insertion of a laser fiber into a cancerous tumor. The laser, once inserted, applies heat to the cancerous tissue, destroying it. This technique, known as MRI-guided focal laser ablation, could improve treatment options and outcomes for men with prostate cancer.

Controlling Quality in Advanced Optics Manufacturing
Tue, Aug 23, 2016 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
John Davis, engineering manager for Particle Measuring Systems, provides an overview of particle generation sources, control methods and ISO standards and examines performance trends in the optics industry that are driving manufacturers to reduce the contamination levels to which a component is exposed during manufacturing. He provides multiple examples of particle excursions in the optics industry that have been found and fixed, illustrating the types of improvements that can be made through contamination control.
