Optical contrast based on elastic scattering interactions between light and matter can be
used to probe cellular structure, cellular dynamics, and image tissue architecture. The …

Intrinsic optical signal (IOS) imaging promises to be a noninvasive method for high-
resolution examination of retinal physiology, which can advance the study and diagnosis of …

Action potentials in neurons have been studied traditionally by intracellular
electrophysiological recordings and more recently by the fluorescence detection methods …

Measuring and monitoring the electrical signals transmitted between neurons is key to
understanding the communication between neurons that underlies human perception …

Despite a number of books on biophotonics imaging for medical diagnostics and therapy,
the field still lacks a comprehensive imaging book that describes state-of-the-art …

We measured birefringence, 90 degree scattered light, and voltage sensitive dye changes
from lobster walking leg nerves. Systematic application of key chemical agents revealed …

Electrical activity may cause observable changes in a cell's structure in the absence of
exogenous reporter molecules. In this work, we report a low-coherence interferometric …

We report noncontact optical measurement of fast transient structural changes in the
crustacean nerve during action potential propagation without the need for exogenous …

While the ability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure cerebral hemodynamic
evoked responses (slow optical signal) is well established, its ability to measure non …

The main objective of this book is to bring together multidisciplinary contributions from
leading authorities on the properties and roles of water in cell systems which are otherwise …
