Biophotonic Sensors: Advances and Applications
Biophotonic Sensors
Biophotonic sensors and systems are optical devices that can provide point-of-care diagnostics for medical practitioners and health researchers. They enable researchers to detect, sense, identify, and understand biological systems at the cellular/sub-cellular level, giving them a new understanding of biological processes, conditions, and molecular changes.
Biophotonics is a rapidly growing field, and optical designers and researchers are constantly developing new ways of achieving high-quality imaging, more sensitive detection, and more comprehensive analysis. Medical advances powered by photonics technologies include breakthroughs in disease diagnosis, food & water safety, and drug efficacy testing. Some involve Here we’ll look at a few biophotonic advances and how they’re already making a difference to medical diagnostics and research.
