SYNOPSIS
Microscopy is usually done in a laboratory on carefully prepared very thin samples and achieves resolutions better than micrometers. Medical imaging, by contrast, is usually performed on sizeable portions of the living human body, and resolutions are rarely better than 1 millimeter.

ABSTRACT
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT), combining optical and ultrasonic waves via the photoacoustic effect, provides in vivo multiscale non-ionizing functional and molecular imaging. Light offers rich tissue contrast but does not penetrate biological tissue in straight paths as x-rays do. Conse...

ABSTRACT – Live cell imaging with molecularly specific contrast is a particular strength of optical microscopy, permitting the dynamic observation of events at the single cell level in 4 dimensions. Optical microscopy based on fluorescent probes does, however, also have limitations due to t...

ABSTRACT
We will present novel applications of non linear laser imaging by using pulsed sources. Concepts regarding the multiphoton and the second harmonic generation imaging will be discussed, together with lifetime imaging. The possibility to obtain morpho-funtional characteristics of tissues ...

ABSTRACT
Two related but fundamentally different diffuse optical methods — near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) — were developed in hybrid probes towards translational studies at the bed-side in the neuro-intensive care units (NICU). I will brie...

Abstract:
Spectroscopy in different flavors (absorbance, fluorescence, Raman scattering) provides information about the chemical constituents of a tissue. Photon scattering offers information about the structural aspects of a tissue. Architectural landmarks are imaged by reflectance from refract...
