A New Look Inside the Body – Better Communication in BiophotonicsOver the last years optical technologies have become a vital tool for innovating clinical diagnostics and are thus opening markets for photonics. Technologies like second harmonic generation or two-photon microscopy give new insights into abnormal changes in human morphology and can thereby often identify diseases better than techniques that don’t employ light.

A fruitful combination
Combining two methods into a single platform opens up new possibilities for non-invasive 3D skin imaging: optical coherence tomography to locate abnormal skin regions followed by multiphoton tomography to examine sub-cellular features of a specific abnormal region. [more]

New technique on laser dissection of neurons in PLOS ONE
P4L researchers from the Institut of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) led by Dr. Pablo Loza-Alvarez (SLN Facility head) presented in PLOS ONE Journal a new methodology for the assessment of the collateral damage induced by laser dissection of neurons in living soil worms. Their studies centered on the examination of the tissues surrounding the targeted neuron region using a combination of high resolution microscopy modalities. [more]

Fiber-based spectroscopy - a key to individual treatment of vascular diseases
Scientists from the Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) explore a method for spectroscopic characterization of the biochemical composition of arteriosclerotic plaques in vessels. With the latest spectroscopic methods and modern fiber technology future patients could be examined carefully to trace biochemical changes in their blood vessel walls. [more]

Events
3rd Annual Workshop on Spectroscopic Imaging
May 23 - May 24 2013 , West Lafayette, United States
Leaders and experts will introduce various modalities of nonlinear optical microscopy and their integration on a single platform. Cutting-edge developments and applications will be shown by lectures on May 23 at Purdue University. Hands-on training will be provided on May 24 to assist the trainees in building or using different modalities of nonlinear optical microscopy. As an optional opportunity, the trainees can test their own samples on the morning of May 25. A poster session will be arranged for participants to exchange their own research. [more]
