With rose petals to stretchable electronics
The use of natural substrates as masters to create elastomeric replicas for stretchable electronic devices is demonstrated.
Perpendicular geometry for better photoacoustic images
A new approach based on bidirectional scanning improves the imaging performance of optoacoustic imaging to quasi-isotropic transverse resolution.
New endoscopic technique provides label-free contrast of tissue
A flexible wide-field endoscope utilising blue excitation light provides label-free contrast of tissue based on fluorescence lifetime imaging of tissue autofluorescence. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of tissue autofluorescence has been shown to provide...
