In Dermatology, Lasers Offer Options For Medical, Cosmetic Procedures
Advancements are producing alternatives to invasive technologies that are safer, more effective and more affordable. From skin cancer diagnosis and treatment to wrinkle removal and skin rejuvenation, laser-based treatments increasingly offer noninvasive alternatives to traditional procedures. These noninvasive alternatives can lessen tissue damage, decrease recovery times, speed diagnosis and reduce scarring.

Intelligent Hyperspectral Imaging Holds Promise for Pathology
Hyperspectral imaging provides images with numerous spectral bands over a continuous spectral range, enabling analysis of complex scenes that contain both spectral and spatial information. Recent advances in tunable filter elements combined with increased computational power of embedded processors have resulted in a fully autonomous battery-operated and small form-factor imager.

Microscopy Method Enables Simultaneous Imaging of 24 Molecules
A novel microscopy platform with enhanced detection sensitivity could allow for more comprehensive, system-wide labeling and imaging of greater numbers of biomolecules in living cells and tissues than is currently possible. The platform, called electronic pre-resonance stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, offers high levels of sensitivity and selectivity.

Laser Sparks New Behavior in Light
By focusing laser light to a brightness one billion times greater than the surface of the sun, physicists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have observed changes in a vision-enabling interaction between light and matter. The changes produced unique x-ray pulses with the potential to generate extremely high-resolution imagery useful for medical, engineering, scientific and security purposes.

Light Sheet Microscopy (oSPIM)
Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.
ASI’s Oblique Single Illumination Microscope (oSPIM) is an excellent platform for high resolution light sheet microscopy for samples mounted in standard coverslip-bottom culture dishes. The oSPIM is a single-view light sheet system where the illumination light sheet is generated at an oblique angle using an oil immersion objective below the sample dish.
