  3. Introduction • Biomedical imaging has revolutioned the healthcare industry • Current popular techniques involve imaging at structural and anatomic level • Need to extend imaging to cellular and molecular levels

  4. Bioimaging Techniques: Reflection, Transmission, and Fluorescence • Reflection [1] • Confocal Microscopy • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) • Transmission [1] • Confocal Microscopy • Phase Contrast and Dark Field Microscopy • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy • Fluorescence [1] • (Epi)-Fluorescense Microscopy • Scanning Optical Microscopy • Confocal Microscopy • Two-Photon Laser Scanning Microscopy (TPLSM) • Total Internal Reflection Fluorescense Microscopy (TIRF) • Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM)

  5. Fluorescence Imaging of Collagen [2] Two-Photon Imaging [2] Bioimaging Techniques: Reflection, Transmission, and Fluorescence • Reflection [1] • Confocal Microscopy • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) • Transmission [1] • Confocal Microscopy • Phase Contrast and Dark Field Microscopy • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy • Fluorescence [1] • (Epi)-Fluorescense Microscopy • Scanning Optical Microscopy • Confocal Microscopy • Two-Photon Laser Scanning Microscopy (TPLSM) • Total Internal Reflection Fluorescense Microscopy (TIRF) • Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM)

  6.

  8. Medical Uses: In-vivo, In-vitro,Ex-vivo • Cellular Imaging • RNA/DNA • Protein-Protein Interactions • Tissue Imaging • Soft Tissue • Hard Tissue • In-vivo imaging can be used at the level of tissue, organ, or entire live being [1]

  9. Tumor Cells in a Mouse [2] Medical Uses: Detecting the Bad Guys • Viruses and Bacteria • Detection of Tumor Cells • Cancer Detection • Corneal Imaging • Gastrointestinal Pathology • Drug Tracking

  10. Medical Uses: Looking Ahead • Future applications of near-IR imaging • Use of nanoparticle approach of encapsulation and delivery • In-situ activation of a fluorescent probe • Real-time in-vivo imaging • Imaging of microbes << wavelength of light

  11. Quantum Dots Fluorescence Imaging [2] Nanotechnology’s Role • Light-Matter Interactions • Confining light on nanoscale • Confining matter on nanoscale • Quantum Dots • Long lifetimes • Not easy to photobleach • Insensitive to microbial attack

  12. Nanotechnology’s Role • Bioimaging • Biosensing • Photodynamic therapy • Magnetic nanoclinics
