Windows of Opportunity
MARCIA STAMELL, ASSOCIATE MANAGING EDITOR
Our cover story considers the progress and prospects of optical coherence tomography. There are promising new uses of OCT, a panel of three industry experts tells us. One is OCT angiography. OCT-A is just attracting the clinical interest that is the necessary precursor to wider adoption. But there are serious obstacles to this and other OCT techniques moving beyond the domain of research hospitals and academia.

Large-Scale, Deep-Tissue Neuronal Imaging
Thu, Apr 20, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Lingjie Kong, Ph.D., will speak on advances in large-scale deep tissue imaging of biological dynamics, focusing on applications in neuroscience. Kong received his Ph.D. in Optical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2012. For postdoctoral training, he worked at X. Sunney Xie's group at Harvard University and Meng Cui's group at Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus and Purdue University. He is currently engaged in research work at Purdue University and is planning to join the faculty at Tsinghua University.
