A large‐depth‐of‐field full‐field optical angiography (LD‐FFOA) method is developed to expand the depth‐of‐field (DOF). The contrast pyramid fusion algorithm is used to fuse 10 FFOA images at different focus depth. Cover images of mouse ear shows LD‐FFOA image has higher contrast and more detailed features. The LD‐FFOA method solves the defocused problem caused by the limited DOF of lens, the curved surface and uneven thickness of the sample.

A new quantitative phase imaging (QPI) modality, coined multi‐ATOM, can now capture and process enormous amount of quantitative phase single‐cell images (>700,000 cells) at a ultrahigh throughput without compromising sub‐cellular resolution. It could empower label‐free single‐cell analysis where large‐scale and cost‐effective screening is necessary. Further details can be found in the article by Kelvin C. M. Lee, Andy K. S. Lau, Anson H. L. Tang, et al. ( e201800479 ).
We experimentally demonstrate an ultra‐sensitive immunoassay biosensor using diatom biosilica with self‐assembled plasmonic nanoparticles. As the nature‐created photonic crystal structures, diatoms have been adopted to enhance surface plasmon resonances of metal nanoparticles on the surfaces of diatom frustules and to increase the sensitivity of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this study, a sandwich SERS immunoassay is developed based on the hybrid plasmonic‐biosilica nanostructured materials that are functionalized with goat anti‐mouse IgG. Our experimental results show that diatom frustules improve the detection limit of mouse IgG to 10 pg/mL, which is ?100× better than conventional colloidal SERS sensors on flat glass.

Intraoperative margin assessment is clinically important, especially for tissue conserving surgery like Mohs micrographic surgery in which minimization of the surgical area is crucial. Instead of the complex frozen pathology protocol, slide‐free histopathological imaging of hematoxylin‐eosin stained whole‐mount skin tissues is demonstrated by using nonlinear microscopy, thus facilitating rapid intraoperative assessment of surgical tissues for future applications.

Optical tissue clearing is a method allowing post‐mortem deep imaging of organs in three dimensions. By optimizing the CUBIC clearing protocol, the authors provide rapid and simple approach to clear the entire adult rat organism within as little as four days, which is accompanied by the variety of its staining and imaging techniques. The image was captured with polarizers and demonstrates transparent rodent heart with thread‐like crystals of clearing reagent. Further details can be found in the article by Pawe? Matryba et al.

To optimize the resection of gliomas during neurosurgery we present an imaging system capable of wide field fluorescence lifetime mapping with 11 mm field of view and 250 mm working distance. Based on a time of flight dual‐tap CMOS camera and a modulated laser at 405 nm we show unobserved quenching effects in tissue phantoms and demonstrate life‐time imaging on 5‐ALA labeled human ex vivo brain tumor samples.

CARS microscopy was employed to monitor the reorganization of intracellular lipids and proteins, as well as cellular transformations, after irradiation with near infrared (NIR) light. NIR light was shown to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells in vitro in a dose‐dependent manner. The progression of apoptosis assessed with CARS microscopy is apparently associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species followed by an excessive formation of lipid droplets and their peroxidation.

Sub‐picosecond light pulses are used to launch high‐frequency ultrasound in cells. The dual detection of acoustic echoes and of the time‐domain Brillouin scattering allows mapping remotely and in a single run experiment the cell adhesion, thickness, storage modulus and mass density, all with micron resolution. The dual picosecond opto‐acoustic microscope is demonstrated with the multiple imaging of a mitotic macrophage‐like cell. This novel modality is compatible with simultaneous fluorescence imaging.

Raster Scanning Optoacoustic Mesoscopy (RSOM) is a novel optoacoustic imaging modality that offers non‐invasive, label‐free, high resolution (~7 µm axial, ~30 µm lateral) imaging up to 1–2 mm below the skin. This paper aims to provide quantitative estimation of specific imaging metrics, like total blood volume, vessel diameter, and melanin signal intensity for in vivo skin imaging of human subjects with Fitzpatrick (FP) skin types between II to V.

The forward elastic‐light‐scattering pattern of a bacterial colony reflects its morphological characteristics. Three bacteria genera whose colonies having convex, crateriform, or irregular elevation were investigated to study the correlation between the morphology and the scattering pattern of the colony. The difference in the colony elevation produced distinct shapes of light diffraction in the scattering pattern, resulting circular diffraction rings or scattered light.

Spectra from microscopic tissue sections are strongly distorted by Mie‐type scattering and require correction by the ME‐EMSC algorithm. In the upper right, Mie extinction curves, which are simulated by the ME‐EMSC algorithm, are shown. Two measured spectra are shown in the foreground, a raw spectrum which contains Mie scattering, and the spectrum corrected by the ME‐EMSC algorithm. The cover figure was designed by Dr. Boris Zimmermann. Further details can be found in the article by Johanne H. Solheim, Evgeniy Gunko, Dennis Petersen, et al. ( e201800415 ).
