PHOTONICS WEST PREVIEW continued
and David Roberts of
Dartmouth Hitchcock
Medical Center will de-
scribe fluorescence-guid-ed resection of intracranial tumors.
The remaining talks will
cover advances in imaging:
Brett Bouma of the Wellman
Center for Photomedicine
will report on endoscopic OCT, Richard Rosen
of the New York Eye and
Ear Infirmary will describe
adaptive optics for the reti-
na, MIT’s Peter So will report on nonlinear microscopy, and Rafael Yuste of
Columbia University will
describe simultaneous imaging of neural activity in 3D (at the 2014
Hot Topics session, Yuste, a pioneer be-
hind the U.S. Brain Research through
Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies
(BRAIN) Initiative, explained
why optical imaging is key for
neuroscience).
Sunday, February 8
will see the continu-
ation of BiOS Expo,
which will feature
more than 210 ex-
hibitors with products
such as advanced mi-
croscopes, analytical
instruments, nanosec-
ond lasers, fiber op-
tics, spectral sensing
systems, and scientif-
ic cameras. Many new
products will be on
display such as Prior
Scientific’s (Rockland,
MA) Lumen 300-
LED broad spectrum white light fluo-
rescence excitation illumination system
(see Fig. 2). Other product introductions
are a developer’s kit for FEMTOprint
SA’s (Muzzano, Switzerland) tabletop
platform for making 3D micro-nano-
devices; a free-running single-photon
detector for the near-IR range from ID
Quantique (Geneva, Switzerland); and
Raptor Photonics’ (Larne, Northern
Ireland) cooled visible-SWIR InGaAs
camera. In case you don’t get to see all
the vendors you want to on Saturday and
Sunday, keep in mind that some will also
exhibit in the Photonics West Expo start-
ing Tuesday.
Two special events are set to begin
Sunday at 12:30: the BiOS Student
Networking Lunch with the Experts and
the Translational Research Lunchtime
Forum. The latter will feature Bruce
Tromberg of UC Irvine and Gabriela
Apiou of Harvard Medical School facilitating a discussion about outcomes-
based work that can change the lives of
patients, presentations of work selected
from the Translational Research virtu-
al symposium, and Best Paper awards.
