Advances in Optical Microscopy for Bioimaging
Light microscopy has become the most widely used quantitative technique for biologists. Since the 1980s, optical designs are configured to match the requirements of biological microscopists – be it sample preparation, hardware designs, or software needs. For this special issue, we invite both theoretical and experimental original research papers highlighting new developments in light microscopy and the advantages of specific methods for biomedical imaging. We hope to encourage the community to share their latest developments, views, experimental designs, and research results on key biological areas, pushing the developments of microscopy and imaging methods.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Super-resolution, light-sheet, high-content microscopy
- Image reconstruction and analysis including 3D image processing and visualization
- Machine learning including deep learning
- Correlative light and electron microscopy
- Theory of optical imaging and wave propagation
- Lens-less microscopy and ptychography
- Open hardware and software solutions
