This book provides an introduction to design of biomedical optical imaging technologies and their applications. The main topics include: fluorescence imaging, confocal imaging, micro-endoscope, polarization imaging, hyperspectral imaging, OCT imaging, multimodal imaging and spectroscopic systems. Each chapter is written by the world leaders of the respective fields, and will cover: principles and limitations of optical imaging technology, system design and practical implementation for one or two specific applications, including design guidelines, system configuration, optical design, component requirements and selection, system optimization and design examples, recent advances and applications in biomedical researches and clinical imaging. This book serves as a reference for students and researchers in optics and biomedical engineering.
Raman imaging has long been used to probe the chemical nature of a sample, providing information on molecular orientation, symmetry and structure with sub-micron spatial resolution. Recent technical developments have pushed the limits of micro-Raman microscopy, enabling the acquisition of Raman spectra with unprecedented speed, and opening a pathway to fast chemical imaging for many applications from material science and semiconductors to pharmaceutical drug development and cell biology, and even art and forensic science. The promise of tip-enhanced raman spectroscopy (TERS) and near-field techniques is pushing the envelope even further by breaking the limit of diffraction and enabling nano-Raman microscopy.
The 2nd International Conference On Perspectives In Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICOPVS 2008) was held during February 24-28 at Trivandrum, Kerala. , India, the land of C.V. Raman, the legendary physicist who invented the Raman Effect and to commemorate 80 years of this path breaking discovery. The ICOPVS 2008 was an excellent platform for all the researchers of vibrational spectroscopy, as an effort towards exploring its advanced applications, with emphasis on recent trends on infrared and Raman spectra. As vibrational spectroscopy is finding tremendous significance in various fields of materials science, biomedical, pharmaceutical, planetary, mineral and forensic sciences, ICOPVS 2008, featuring plenary sessions, invited lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions, provided a very dynamic and interactive platform for the international scientific community specializing in the field.
