Introduction to Ligand-Binding Affinity Ligand-bound complexes are the basis of many reactions in biochemistry and pharmacology. Millions of these biochemical reactions take place in a human body every ...

Introduction A number of disciplines, including flow analysis, particle/cell dynamics and monitoring, and microfluidics, have used digital holographic microscopy. Holograms are diffraction patterns that ...

Currently there is development in the biomedical sphere surrounding a very well documented species: Zebrafish. One benefit of studying these fish is the insight on neural development literally visible in ...

Introduction Humankind has had its eyes on the microscopic world for centuries. Jonathan Swift illustrated the fantastically tiny world of the Lilliputians in his classic novel, Gulliver’s Travels. Dr. ...

Flaw detection and rapid fatigue fracture Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained popularity in a number of high-value industries due to their capacity to produce small batches of geometrically ...

How often do we think about the importance of optical fiber probes in biomedical applications? When we think of optical engineering applications in the medical field, we often think of lasers, MRI ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...

Introduction Using the technique of keyhole laser welding, we can use very high beam intensities to process the material (please see this reference for the details of keyhole laser welding technique). Due ...

Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) is a popular super-resolution microscopy technique that researchers use to magnify microscopic organic compounds and proteins. This method is superior to ...

  Have you ever considered how small something could be? What would limit how small we can make things? How precise exactly is “ultra precision”? Today we will have an introduction into ...
