Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy: Fundamentals and Embryonic Imaging
Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy (LLSM) is a variant of conventional Light Sheet Microscopy (LSM). In short, LLSM utilizes a lattice of light beams to image a specimen. While LSM techniques illuminate single ...
Alternatives to Silicon: Graphene, Gallium Nitride and Perovskites
The advent of the semiconductors as it pertains to electronics has been nothing short of revolutionary. Specifically, semiconductors have enabled the processing of large amounts of data in smaller devices. ...
Two-Photon Microscopy and Diagnostic Applications
Two-photon excitation micoscopy (a.k.a. TPEF/ 2PEF) is the most common type of multiphoton fluorescence microscopy. It is a very interesting and useful technique for its ability to lock down on very ...
Laser Scar Treatment and Nonablative Techniques
Laser based therapy of scars and wounds is a relatively new technology treatment that started in the 1980s. At first, CO2 and argon lasers were used to vaporize scar tissue and lessen the texture of the ...
Photonics in Medicine: Top 5 Biomedical Impacts
Researchers began manipulating laser technologies to use in scientific research long time ago. Which began as abstract exploration of the behavior of light and its interaction with nature, soon turned into ...
Gold Nanoparticle Laser Therapy in the Fight Against MDR Bacteria
The rise of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria has become a big issue in modern day medicine. With globalization and frequent travel creating the perfect conditions for disease spreading (as we see today ...
Fluorescence Microscopy: Multiphoton and Other Techniques
Fluorescence Microscopy is a Light Microscopy technique that utilizes fluorescence and phosphorescence to capture images of organic or inorganic structures. It is one of the most common instruments in ...
UV-DOAS Spectroscopy For Atmospheric Monitoring
Ultraviolet Doppler Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-DOAS) is a long distance measurement technique used for detecting chemicals in the atmosphere. This technology is important in our modern world where ...
Ring Laser Gyroscopes for Inertial Navigation and Transportation Systems
Ring laser gyroscopes have come a long way since the first prototypes. The first gyrocompass was co-invented in 1908 by Elmer Sperry, a.k.a “the father of modern navigation technology,” and ...
Li-Fi Technology: A New Avenue for Wireless Data Communications
Light Fidelity, also known as Li-Fi, was invented by Professor Suat Topsu from Paris-Saclay University and introduced worldwide by German Physicist Harald Haas in a 2011 Ted talk. Haas did a demonstration ...
