Fountain of Youth
JAMES SCHLETT, EDITOR

It wasn't that long ago when the biggest downside to laser facial rejuvenation was the significant recovery period after the procedure. In exchange for looking years younger, patients often had to brace for up to a month of uncomfortable recuperation. Cosmetic laser companies are now pushing the bounds of fractionated technology to further reduce costs and downtime, by introducing systems with multiple and new wavelengths as well as faster and more powerful picosecond and diode lasers.

Hyperspectral Microscopy: A Powerful Technique for Multiplexed Imaging
Hyperspectral Microscopy: A Powerful Technique for Multiplexed Imaging
The field of biomedical imaging represents the acquisition of images for diagnosis and treatment evaluation using various imaging techniques, such as MRI, ultrasound, x-ray, PET and more. In the past few years, nondestructive techniques based on optical imaging have grown in popularity, as this approach permits visualization of cells and molecules without requiring a biopsy or cell culture.
