Improving Capillary Electrophoresis the Photonic Way
As a tool for divining all that is knowable about proteins, capillary electrophoresis has taken a strong grip on investigators. The technique offers scientists from oncologists to pharmacologists speedy and sensitive separation of proteins — either inside narrow tubes or within the etched walls of a microfluidic chip — and a number of methods have been developed to detect and analyze the proteins within a sample, including laser-induced fluorescence. But there is always room ...

Medical Imaging Learns from Computer Gaming
Medical imaging systems such as CT, MRI and ultrasound are becoming ubiquitous. As the technology becomes more commonplace, it also continues to mature. Significant imaging applications arise each year to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of...

Resolution of Optical Microscope Redefined
Optical microscopy is an important tool for studying live biological cells in life sciences research, enabling the observation of various biological processes in real time. The study of nanoscale single molecular activities such as protein-protein...

Spectral Confocal Microscopy Aids FRET Studies
FRET is an energy transfer between two fluorescent molecules that occurs without the exchange of a photon. It occurs when a fluorescent molecule, usually called the donor probe, is excited by the absorption of a photon. If a fluorescent probe that...

Direct Proximity Imaging with FRET and FLIM
Florescent proteins have opened the possibility to observe protein distribution and localization by fluorescence microscopy. Directly observing these nanometer-size molecules is not possible, however. As an alternative, indirect methods such as...

Eye Tracking Helps Improve Accuracy in Radiology
Improving the accuracy of radiology diagnostic reading is critical for a number of reasons. Greater accuracy means that a higher percentage of malignancies will be detected — and detected earlier — increasing the chances for a complete...

Microscope Takes Deep-UV and Visible Picosecond Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements
Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures. However, it previously was limited when used for applications that required wavelengths longer than 370 nm because of microscope...

Multispectral FLIM Enhances FRET Autofluorescence Imaging
er the past decade, confocal and multiphoton laser scanning microscopy have become standard for biomedical imaging on the cellular level. Because these techniques either suppress or don’t generate out-of-focus light, they produce clear images...

On the Path Toward More Useful Fluorophores
Where would modern biomedical research be today without fluorescent probes? Some would argue that it would be blindly groping down a dark alley, with no efficient means of discovering the finely honed interplay of proteins and other substances in...

Camera Phones Emerge as a Health Care Tool
Telemedicine gives patients access to a doctor no matter where they are. Whether a patient uses monitoring equipment to send information to the doctor’s office or an x-ray technician transmits images to a radiologist for examination,...

Creating Clarity: Adaptive Optics for Bioimaging
Biological imaging instruments often have resolution limitations that restrict the ability of researchers and clinicians to detect critical detail. One reason is that, as light passes through tissue to reach the object of interest — a cell,...

Focusing on the Experiment
For Alexey Khodjakov, a researcher at the New York State Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center in Albany, it wasn’t a question of if but when he would lose focus. Following cells as each divided into many, he and colleagues in his lab...

A Spotlight on Biophotonics in Canada
Canada has demonstrated its commitment to building a sustainable future for biophotonics through education, research and industrial development. Numerous initiatives exist, at federal and provincial levels, whose mandate is to establish a firm...

Protein Interactions Profiled Using Surface Plasmon Resonance
Proteins are the worker bees of the human body. They traverse cell membranes to receive and propagate signals, transport oxygen to every cell in the body, regulate the expression of genes and impart structure and strength to tissues. The signaling...
