Imaging and sensing is the collection and detection of light either emitted or reflected from a target so that a representation of the physical properties of the target can be reproduced in another system. For example, using lenses to focus light from a sample onto a recording detector.
Ultrasound-induced luminescence in trianthracene derivative-based nanoparticles enables tumour imaging and immunological profiling in a variety of in vivo models.
A non-common-path interferometric scheme enables holographic detection of single proteins of mass 90 kDa and estimation of single-protein polarizability.
