We have a Teledyne FLIR A655sc camera for highly resolved thermal imaging, which allows for non-invasive temperature mapping of tissue. This enables direct feedback of the potentially damaging effects of absorbing too much laser light, which is important for setting guidelines for safe clinical implementation of PAI. Thermal imaging is also useful as a complementary monitoring system for a range o

Spectral coloring is a phenomenon that becomes relevant when studying light of different “colors” (wavelengths) propagating through tissue. It is expected that light gets attenuated as it reaches further into the tissue. However, since the absorbing species in the tissue interact with different wavelengths, the spectrum of light that remains to be absorbed at deeper layers will change shape and th

The study of eye movements is an important source of information for researchers (eg neurobiologists, psychologists and optometrists) and healthcare professionals (eg neurologists, ophthalmologists, ear-nose-throat doctors, orthoptists). Research has shown that the study of eye movements is a powerful tool for understanding how our psyche and our brain work. Understanding all eye movement disorder

Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by a buildup of abnormal amyloid deposits in the body. Amyloid deposits can build up in the heart, brain, kidneys, spleen and other parts of the body.  Amyloid in the heart reduces the ability to fill with blood between heartbeats. Less blood is pumped with each beat, and the patient experience shortness of breath. If amyloidosis affects your heart's ele

Ultrasonic contrast-free microvascular imaging using ultrafast Doppler is an emerging technology which has enabled microvascular imaging in brain, tumor vascularization imaging, and functional ultrasound.

The goniometer employs the same light sources as the multispectral microscope, but has an extended capability to measure the scattering properties of a sample by determining the preferred angles light choses to scatter into. The goniometer is therefore important when characterizing the optical properties of human tissue, which in turn lays a foundation for proper interpretation of signals generate

Knowledge of how blood perfusion is affected during and after reconstructive surgery is of great importance to predict the survival of grafts and flaps. When commonly used reconstructive procedures were developed a century ago, they were based on empirical observations of clinical outcome. However, today modern, non-invasive techniques are available to monitor perfusion during and after surgery. A

Malaria is responsible for over half a million deaths annually, however, these are primarily in the developing parts of the World. The reason why it remains a problem in only a few places is because the incidence is particularly high and the methods of diagnosing the parasitic illness are not efficient enough. Moreover, understanding the behaviour of the plasmodium parasite vector (the female  Ano
