Putting Imaging in the Picture
It is now more than 180 years since the first image was captured by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce from an upstairs window on his estate in France using pewter plates and a camera obscura...

Reshaping Materials Analysis with novel mass spectrometry techniques
Mass spectrometry is not a classic photonic technique. The goal of measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to identify the material from which they originated is mostly electrochemical. Over the years, however, photonic instruments – primarily...
BioPhotonics, February 2010
Design Innovation in Biomedical Systems
Innovation is what keeps biomedical systems on the cutting edge, advancing human health and wellness through analysis, diagnosis and treatment. Much novel design begins in university biomedical engineering programs and other multidisciplinary...

Multiphoton Microscopy: Ready for Prime Time?
Having spent much of its admittedly short life in relative obscurity, multiphoton microscopy has, over the past decade, moved out of the shadows and into the mainstream of biologic...

Orange Laser Sources for Life Sciences Research
Flow cytometry is a critical technology for both clinical medicine and basic research in the life sciences. Flow cytometers use lasers, hydrodynamically focused streams of single cells and photon detectors (usually photomultiplier tubes) to rapidly...
BioPhotonics, January 2010
Clinical microscopy’s changing view
For clinical microscopy, the familiar view is changing, as images once seen through eyepieces are increasingly viewed on a screen. The result could be greater collaboration in the operating room, better surgical results and the ability to do...

CMOS X-Ray Cameras for High-Resolution 3-D Brain Activity Research
Over the past four decades, neurophysiologists have studied brain structures and activity using extracellular microelectrodes to characterize the response of neurons in vivo. But there are still many structures of interest located deep within the...
BioPhotonics, November 2009
Label-Free Live-Cell Imaging for High-Content Screening
High-content screening is the collection of multiple data parameters in parallel from the same cellular samples. It has evolved into a mature technique typically using automated fluorescence microscopy and high-resolution imaging of cells stained...
BioPhotonics, November 2009
Medical Device Companies Try Peering into the Future
The past year has not been as gloomy for the medical device industry as it has, say, for home builders, automakers and just about everyone else. In the US, demand for the latest and greatest technologies to keep people healthy and happy is higher...
BioPhotonics, November 2009
Better Medicine Through Lighting
Medical doctors and dentists make visual diagnoses almost every day. They may identify a mole that needs watching, or catch signs of gum disease. The unique spectral characteristics of biological tissue cause it to vary in appearance according to...
BioPhotonics, October 2009
CARS Microscopy Made Simple
Advanced optical imaging techniques can provide unprecedented details about the dynamics of life on a microscopic level. Such techniques typically rely on fluorescent molecules introduced into cells and tissue for labeling purposes; these probes may...
BioPhotonics, October 2009
For medical imaging, a possible convergence
In the US and elsewhere, health care reform is in the news, and the economy apparently is on the mend. These developments could bode well for the medical imaging market – or, if some worst case scenarios play out, they could portend problems. The...

Seeking Green in Bio & Medical Products
Biotech and medical industries are huge energy consumers, so when it comes to upgrading equipment, energy efficiency is a key issue. Technological advances in the latest generation of products have led to energy conservation and reduced use of...

Crisis Rocks Medical Imaging World
“Crisis” is a word that medical professionals and scientists rarely use because it smacks of sensationalism, yet that is precisely the word used by the Society of Nuclear Medicine of Reston, Va., to describe a recent shortage of...
BioPhotonics, September 2009
Getting the Whole Picture
Sometimes you need the whole picture. In biomedical research, that means whole-animal imaging. While these techniques can’t be applied directly to clinical problems, optical whole-animal imaging can aid in research. It also can point the way to...

Making Medical Devices and, Hopefully, Money
To apply an old saying to the commercialization of research, there’s many a slip before a product ships. Turning something developed in an academic setting into a viable medical device that can be mass-produced while hitting cost, reliability and...
BioPhotonics, September 2009
MTF Metrology for High-NA Microscope Objectives
Microscope objectives represent an interesting case in the field of imaging performance metrology. In a parallel to mainstream photographic lenses, users of microscope objectives typically are more concerned with subjective performance – i.e.,...

Full steam ahead with the fastest camera in the world
Some biological events happen so quickly that ordinary cameras simply miss those crucial shots – of neurons firing, proteins moving and lasers performing surgery, just to name a few.Shimadzu Corp.’s HPV-1 is perhaps the fastest commercially...

Nanophotonic Sensors
Around the world, researchers are developing nanoscale devices that receive and emit light. These devices could work better than existing methods of detecting biological molecules for research and direct medical diagnostic...

Nanopositioning Systems: Speed is Key
The development of focus-correction devices, using a variety of techniques, is another exciting area contributing to higher-precision instrumentation devices, Con Foo said. The explosion of interest in nanoscale biotechniques has been a stimulus for...

Picture-Perfect Analysis
Christian Kier is marketing manager for MetaMorph, an image capture and analysis package from MDS Analytical Technologies of Sunnyvale, Calif. He explained that ease-of-use improvements are a focus for the company, rather than such innovations as a...

WHO Reviews The Review?
It was a hazy early April morning, my coffee was still brewing, and I was talking on the phone with Eugene G. Arthurs, CEO of SPIE, about the boosts provided by the Challenge Grants and other National Institutes of Health (NIH) mechanisms supported...

Making cells stick to a nonstick surface
Teflon’s nonstick properties make it ideal for more than pots and pans. The material, also known as poly-tetrafluoroethylene, is a good choice for use in direct contact with blood because its high bond energies render it biologically inert, which...

Optical Tweezers: Empowering Biology with the Force of Light
Over the past few years, optical tweezers increasingly have been used to answer questions of biological significance. Doing a search with key words such as “optical tweezers” and “optical trap” on the Web of Science database shows that, over the...
