Polarization-Resolved CRS Reveals Lipid Disorder at the Molecular Scale
Imaging myelin in vivo is typically done by MRI. However, the spatial scale is far above the single axon. Researchers seek better resolution methods able to evaluate quantitatively and noninvasively demyelination processes at early stages and at small scales. Among the optical methods there is a growing interest in coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy, which presents the advantage of being sensitive to specific chemical vibration bonds with submicrometric resolution.

All-Optical Ultrasound Transducer Could Transform Keyhole Surgeries
An optical ultrasound needle has been developed that allows heart tissue to be imaged in real-time during keyhole procedures. The technology was successfully used for minimally invasive heart surgery on pigs, giving a high-resolution view of soft tissues up to 2.5 cm in front of the instrument, inside the body.

Biomedical OEM Lasers Meet Trends in Therapeutics
Lasers service a diverse range of biomedical applications, ranging from cosmetic fat removal and eyesight-saving photocoagulation to clinical blood cell counting. The major market driver for medical therapeutics has long been the aging “baby boomer” population of the Western regions of the world. The demands of this demographic have included medically necessary treatments, as well as aesthetic and other elective procedures.

Nanocarbon Shows Promise for Fluorescent Bioimaging
Researchers have developed a flexible, water-soluble warped nanographene molecule that is biocompatible. The molecule was also found to induce cell death when exposed to light. The new molecule could expand the biological applications for nanocarbons, including cancer cell imaging and treatment.

Researchers have used a deep learning-based, computational approach to reconstruct a hologram and form a microscopic image of an object. This deep learning-based technique rapidly eliminates twin-image and self-interference-related artifacts using only one hologram intensity. It also uses fewer measurements to reconstruct improved phase and amplitude images of the objects.

A 3D printing technique that replicates biological structures could be used for tissue regeneration and replica organs. The technique creates structures that are soft enough to mimic the mechanical properties of organs such as the brain and lungs.

Synthetic Sapphire: Properties, Use and Selection
Thu, Apr 26, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Sapphire, the hardest natural substance next to diamond, is stronger than many other optical materials. In this webinar you will learn all about synthetically grown sapphire and the range of applications for which it is an appropriate, and in some cases a superior, choice. The webinar will discuss the differences between sapphire and glass and how to select the type of synthetic sapphire that is right for your application.
