How Optic Works in Life Science and Medicine
In medicine, optical imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic technology that can provide high-resolution images without the use of any radioactive substances.
Optical imaging techniques play a pivotal role in histology, pathology, and biochemistry research. Fluorescent labeling technology, for instance, enables scientists to observe and study biomolecule movements and interactions through fluorescence microscopy. The advancement of imaging technology has propelled medical optical imaging equipment towards high resolution and miniaturization, thereby establishing the groundwork for minimally invasive and precision surgery within the body.
Unleash Optical Potential in Medical Applications
Optical techniques and components are used in every aspect of medicine and life sciences, playing an important role from research and development, diagnosis, and treatment to prevention and daily health care.
DNA Sequencing
Optics plays an important role in DNA sequencing, influencing various sequencing aspects, from sample processing to signal detection and data analysis. Fluorescent labeling agents such as SYBR Green and Fluorescein, lasers, and fluorescence detection systems are integral in sample processing and signal detection. These components, along with optical lenses, play a pivotal role in high-throughput sequencing by interpreting genomic information. In this process, DNA is labeled with a fluorescent agent, each base emitting specific-colored fluorescence. Laser scanning technology is then employed to detect these distinctive signals, contributing significantly to the advancement of DNA sequencing technologies.
Medical Diagnosis
In medical diagnosis, optics provide high-resolution, non-invasive images that facilitate the detection of early lesions and accurate diagnosis of diseases. For example, a microendoscope used for the observation of internal organs relies on the optical system, and the OCT of tissue structure images by measuring the interference pattern of reflected light requires optical lenses and interference detectors.
Visual disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are all related to defects in the optical system of the eyeball. By measuring the optical parameters of the eyeball, these visual impairments can be diagnosed and effective corrective treatment can be carried out.
Medical Research
Optics help observe the microstructure of cells and biological processes. This is critical for understanding disease mechanisms, drug development, and pathological research.
Optical fluorescence imaging technology is used to study biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels, such as protein expression, cell signaling, etc. Fluorescently labeled molecules are observed through optical imaging, helping to reveal mechanisms of disease onset and progression.
Optical microscopy provides high-resolution imaging at the cellular and tissue levels, allowing medical researchers to observe and analyze the microstructure of biological samples.
Health science research
Optics are used to monitor the internal structure, function, and physiological parameters of the human body, which is critical for chronic disease management and personalized medicine.
Optical imaging is used in the health sciences to monitor the internal structure and function of the human body. For example, optical tomography (OCT) can be used in ophthalmology to obtain high-resolution images of retinal layers non-invasively.
Optical sensors can be used to monitor physiological parameters such as glucose levels, blood oxygen saturation, etc.
Infectious Disease Research
Real-time PCR, coupled with optical detection systems, plays a pivotal role in immunofluorescence detection, holding immense significance in the early diagnosis and monitoring of infectious diseases.
