The Optical Society (OSA) announced today the launch and publication of the first issue of its newest monthly journal, Biomedical Optics Express. With a focus on biomedical optics and photonics, ...

(Phys.org)—Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are basically gimmicks. The reason you don't hear so much about them these days is because, in the fullness of time, significant tangible benefit to a user ...

Researchers developed a wearable device that can be used for non-invasive stroke risk assessment. The device uses speckle contrast optical spectroscopy to track changes in blood flow and volume in the ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

A project at the University of Strathclyde has now shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a method for increasing the depth at which optical coherence tomography (OCT) can image structures beneath skin. The new 'dual-axis' approach opens new ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...

Optical microscopes, also known as light microscopes, provide detailed images of sample surfaces, but their use in looking below the surface is limited. A workaround is to look for signals given off ...
