Upconversion Materials Empower Thermal Bioimaging
Bioimaging is a fundamental technique for research in the life sciences, and it is used routinely in the medical industry. The procedure itself encompasses many different methods, such as electron microscopy, x-ray tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, which are becoming increasingly popular. However, optical microscopy has advantages over these other methods: It is versatile and relatively inexpensive. For these reasons, fluorescence microscopy remains an essential tool for bioimaging in research laboratories.

IR Light Illuminates Biotech Manufacturing
Medicine and biotech industries make and utilize high volumes of custom pieces, including prosthetics, implants, personalized medicine, and large-scale medical devices. Getting these products to market faster and more efficiently can save millions in revenue. However, production today is often bogged down by complex manufacturing processes with numerous iterative steps that contribute to long development cycles and process inefficiencies.

An international team of researchers has proven that dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) imaging of melanoma reveals changes to the blood vessels that correlate with the depth of its invasion, which could lead to a faster method of rapidly assessing the severity of a melanoma.

Spectroscopic OCT: Seeing Under the Skin with Depth-Resolved Spectroscopy
Tue, May 14, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Adam Wax, Ph.D., will introduce new methods for evaluating skin injury using spectroscopic measurements based on coherence imaging. These methods were developed by Wax and his group at the Biomedical Interferometry, Optics and Spectroscopy (BIOS) lab at Duke University. Wax will discuss spectroscopic OCT (SOCT), an extension of OCT technology for analyzing structural as well as spectroscopic information. He will present his lab’s application of SOCT for burn injuries and also address SOCT’s potential in the area of cancer detection.
