Front Cover: A high‐throughput all‐optical laser‐scanning imaging flow cytometer with biomolecular specificity and subcellular resolution (J. Biophotonics 2/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
A new type of high‐throughput imaging flow cytometer (>20 000 cells s‐1) based upon an all‐optical ultrafast laser‐scanning imaging technique, called free‐space angular‐chirp‐enhanced delay (FACED) is reported. FACED imaging flow cytometers enables high‐throughput visualization of functional morphology of individual cells with subcellular resolution. It critically empowers largescale and deep characterization of single cells and their heterogeneity with high statistical power— an ability to become increasingly critical in single‐cell analysis adopted in a wide range of biomedical and life‐science applications.

A hyperspectral image data cube acquired from HEK‐293 cells labeled with cytoplasmic and nuclear stains: Calcein Green and NucBlu. The top view (XY plane) displays three spectrally unmixed channels for cellular autofluorescence (red), Calcein Green (green), and NucBlue (blue). The Z axis shows spectral information, from low to high wavelength. The article by Leavesley and colleagues describes an approach for calculating the sensitivity of spectral imaging assays for detecting a fluorescence signature within a mix of other signatures or autofluorescence. Further details can be found in the article by Silas J. Leavesley et al. ( e201600227 ).

Inside Front Cover: Enhanced volumetric imaging in 2‐photon microscopy via acoustic lens beam shaping (J. Biophotonics 2/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
Simonluca Piazza Paolo Bianchini Colin Sheppard Alberto Diaspro Martí Duocastella 《Journal of biophotonics》2018,11(2)
Two‐photon microscopy is the tool of choice for fluorescence imaging of deep tissues with high resolution, but can be limited in three‐dimensional acquisition speed and penetration depth. In this work, these issues are addressed by using an acoustic optofluidic lens capable of ultrafast beam shaping on a pixel basis. Driving the lens with different phase profiles enables high‐speed volumetric imaging, or enhanced signal‐to‐background for deeper penetration. Further details can be found in the article by Simonluca Piazza et al. ( e201700050 )

Tissue autofluorescence provides fluorescence lifetime contrast between acellular tissue and that containing newly seeded cells. Fiber‐based fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) can be used for tracking recellularization of engineered vascular grafts and potential matrix remodeling at large scale, without compromising sample integrity. FLIm cellular contrast was verified in a subset of samples seeded with eGFP‐labelled cells. Results suggests fiberbased FLIm is a suitable tool for monitoring recellularization of engineered tissue nondestructively.

We present a hybrid dual‐wavelength optoacoustic and ultrasound bio‐microscope capable of rapid transcranial visualization of morphology and oxygenation status of large‐scale cerebral vascular networks. Imaging of entire cortical vasculature in mice is achieved with single capillary resolution and complemented by simultaneously acquired pulse‐echo ultrasound microscopy scans of the mouse skull. The new approach holds potential to facilitate studies into neurological and vascular abnormalities of the brain.

Back Cover: In‐vitro analysis of early calcification in aortic valvular interstitial cells using Laser‐Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) (J. Biophotonics 1/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
Quantitative laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is successfully used for in‐vitro analysis of early stage calcification in aortic valvular interstitial cells (VICs). LIBS results indicate 5‐fold improvement in the detection limit of calcium deposition in VICs over cell histology techniques involving staining and colorimetric calcium assays. These results can establish LIBS at the forefront of early detection of calcification in VICs for pathological studies on Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD).

This paper presents a novel compact fiberoptic based singlet oxygen near‐infrared luminescence probe coupled to an InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detector. Patterned time gating of the single‐photon detector is used to limit unwanted dark counts and eliminate the strong photosensitizer luminescence background. Singlet oxygen luminescence detection at 1270 nm is confirmed through spectral filtering and lifetime fitting for Rose Bengal in water, and Photofrin in methanol as model photosensitizers. The overall performance, measured by the signal‐to‐noise ratio, improves by a factor of 50 over a previous system that used a fiberoptic‐coupled superconducting nanowire single‐photon detector. The effect of adding light scattering to the photosensitizer is also examined as a first step towards applications in tissue in vivo.

Monochromatic subdiffusive spatial frequency domain imaging provides in‐situ sensitivity to intratumoral morphological heterogeneity in a murine model 下载免费PDF全文
David M. McClatchy III P. Jack Hoopes Brian W. Pogue Stephen Chad Kanick 《Journal of biophotonics》2017,10(2):211-216
For the first time, spatially resolved quantitative metrics of light scattering recovered with sub‐diffusive spatial frequency domain imaging (sd‐SFDI) are shown to be sensitive to changes in intratumoral morphology and viability by direct comparison to histopathological analysis. Two freshly excised subcutaneous murine tumor cross‐sections were measured with sd‐SFDI, and recovered optical scatter parameter maps were co‐registered to whole mount histology. Unique clustering of the optical scatter parameters vs. γ (i.e. diffuse scattering vs. relative backscattering) evaluated at a single wavelength showed complete separation between regions of viable tumor, aggresive tumor with stromal growth, varying levels of necrotic tumor, and also peritumor muscle. The results suggest that with further technical development, sd‐SFDI may represent a non‐destructive screening tool for analysis of excised tissue or a non‐invasive approach to investigate suspicious lesions without the need for exogenous labels or spectrally resolved imaging.

Three‐dimensional mapping of the orientation of collagen corneal lamellae in healthy and keratoconic human corneas using SHG microscopy 下载免费PDF全文

Keratoconus is an eye disorder that causes the cornea to take an abnormal conical shape, thus impairing its refractive functions and causing blindness. The late diagnosis of keratoconus is among the principal reasons for corneal surgical transplantation. This pathology is characterized by a reduced corneal stiffness in the region immediately below Bowman's membrane, probably due to a different lamellar organization, as suggested by previous studies. Here, the lamellar organization in this corneal region is characterized in three dimensions by means of second‐harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy. In particular, a method based on a three‐dimensional correlation analysis allows to probe the orientation of sutural lamellae close to the Bowman's membrane, finding statistical differences between healthy and keratoconic samples. This method is demonstrated also in combination with an epi‐detection scheme, paving the way for a potential clinical ophthalmic application of SHG microscopy for the early diagnosis of keratoconus.

The biomaterial distribution and its molecular mechanism of embryonic development in Japanese medaka fish were visualized without staining using high‐speed near‐infrared imaging. It was a remarkable achievement to visualize the structures of eyes, lipid bilayer membranes, micelles, and water structural variations at the interface of different substances. Furthermore, insights on lipid metabolism and membrane functions were obtained from the biased distribution of lipoproteins and the presence of unsaturated fatty acids in the egg membrane.

Semiconductor nanocomposites provide advantages beyond the capability of typical fluorescent materials for cancer detection. In this work, nanowire‐based probes with dual color channels are employed to demonstrate the capacity of cancer cell detection. Purple emitting ZnO/antibody probes are applied to detect cancer cells and meanwhile TiO2/antibody probes with green light emission are applied to identify normal fibroblast cells. A series of quantitative analyses are conducted to verify the correlation between the concentrations of ZnO and TiO2 probes, cell numbers, and peak intensities of the PL spectra. The results provide a quantitative reference for developing nanowire‐based cancel cell probes.

Analysis of major elements in pigmented melanocytic chicken skin using laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy 下载免费PDF全文
The concentration difference of major elements in melanocytic skin with respect to pigmentation level is analysed by laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to investigate the applicability of LIBS as an in situ feedback tool for selective and complete laser removal of melanocytic skin tissue like nevus. The skin of black silkie chicken which had a characteristic darkly pigmented perifollicular skin surrounded by lightly pigmented extrafollicular skin was used as the sample. The results showed higher LIBS signal intensities of Ca2+ and Mg2+ but lower intensities of Na+, Cl– and K+ in the perifollicular skin than in the extrafollicular skin, which demonstrated the feasibility to use LIBS as a reliable method to distinguish skin tissues with difference in pigmentation level.

Bessel‐beam illumination in dual‐axis confocal microscopy mitigates resolution degradation caused by refractive heterogeneities 下载免费PDF全文
One of the main challenges for laser‐scanning microscopy of biological tissues with refractive heterogeneities is the degradation in spatial resolution that occurs as a result of beam steering and distortion. This challenge is particularly significant for dual‐axis confocal (DAC) microscopy, which achieves improved spatial‐filtering and optical‐sectioning performance over traditional confocal microscopy through off‐axis illumination and collection of light with low‐numerical aperture (NA) beams that must intersect precisely at their foci within tissues. DAC microscope image quality is sensitive to positional changes and distortions of these illumination‐ and collection‐beam foci. Previous studies have shown that Bessel beams display improved positional stability and beam quality than Gaussian beams when propagating through tissues with refractive heterogeneities, which suggests that Bessel‐beam illumination may enhance DAC microscopy of such tissues. Here, we utilize both Gaussian and Bessel illumination in a point‐scanned DAC microscope and quantify the resultant degradation in resolution when imaging within heterogeneous optical phantoms and fresh tissues. Results indicate that DAC microscopy with Bessel illumination exhibits reduced resolution degradation from microscopic tissue heterogeneities compared to DAC microscopy with conventional Gaussian illumination.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used for skin treatments of premalignant and cancer lesions and recognized as a non‐invasive technique that combines tissue photosensitization and subsequent exposure to light to induce cell death. However, it is limited to the treatment of superficial lesions, mainly due to the low cream penetration. Therefore, the improvement of transdermal distribution of aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is needed. In this study, the kinetics and homogeneity of production of ALA‐induced PpIX after the skin pre‐treatment with microneedles rollers of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm length were investigated. An improvement in homogeneity and production of PpIX was shown in a porcine model.
