Translational Biophotonics is a peer-reviewed, open access online journal dedicated to translating photonic methods and technologies in all medical areas to solve unmet medical needs in diagnosis and therapy. It provides a platform for integrating translational medical photonics research into clinical practice. Find out more and submit your paper today.
Conventional light microscopy has its limits. Light, being a wave, is subject to diffraction which severely limits the size of structures one can resolve. To be able to observe parts of an organism smaller than this, other techniques need to be employed.
Scientists have have developed a new way to study cells, paving the way for a better understanding of how cancers spread. Their technique, known as confocal reflectance interferometric microscopy, allows high-speed analysis of nanometer scale nucleic envelope and plasma membrane fluctuations.
Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers reveal that the way in which human fungal pathogens form colonies can significantly impact their ability to cause disease.
Scientists have developed a lab-on-a-chip system that can identify the health aspects of a person's immune system from a drop of their blood, within minutes. The system could free up time for microscopy work.
Researchers are developing a way to test whether chemicals cause musculoskeletal birth defects using lab-grown human tissue, not live animals. Their first study involved the use of phase contrast microscopy to identify bone defects.
