Diagnostic instrumentation that provides autofluorescence capabilities is helping clinicians diagnose retinal conditions earlier by showing abnormalities that are often invisible to standard fundus ...

Immunofluorescence is a common technique in modern biology and medicine. It is a highly sensitive method used primarily for the analysis of tissue samples with a fluorescence microscope. When this ...

A team led by Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center biomedical engineers and surgeons has published results of a large clinical trial showing that use of a near-infrared ...

Fundus autofluorescence patterns observed using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy may be linked to disease progression in patients with age-related macular degeneration and may thereby help ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison, and the Morgridge Institute for Research, have developed a novel label-free imaging technique that exploits autofluorescence ...

The intrinsic emission of light by biological structures in cells, known as autofluorescence (AF), has been a problem in flow cytometry data resolution for years. Cells with a high level of AF can ...

Uveitis, or inflammation of the eye's uvea area beneath the white of the eye, is a rare disease that has proven challenging to diagnose and monitor. A team from University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and ...

Healing of chronic wounds requires sterile conditions and avoidance of infections. But methods for detecting the "bioburden," or quantity and types of bacteria present, are imperfect. Semiquantitative ...
