In the bio-medical mass-sampling system, an f-theta optical scanning system, using a rotating dodecagon mirror, can scan a range of angle on the medical samples test plate. The spot size of this optical system is about several micrometers and the scanning range is about 3 inch and the linearity is about 0.5 mm.

We are reporting implementation of high quality time resolved laser scanning microscopy through modulation techniques. Inexpensive and commercially available electronics and mechanical optical modulator were integrated with an externally triggered laser scanning microscope to form a phase sensitive lock-in detection imaging system. The unique mapping capability enabled allows time resolved imaging of luminescent samples and photo-sensitive devices.

Lung tumor is a major disease in Taiwan and the development of minimally invasive imaging to detect and diagnose lung tumor in vivo is of biomedical value. However, prior to in vivo investigation, it is important to obtain the multiphoton signatures associated with lung tumor ex vivo. In this investigation, we used multiphoton microscopy to image normal and cancerous lung tissues (adenocarcinoma). Our results show that a combination of harmonic generation and multiphoton autofluorescence imaging may be used to acquire structural information in discerning lung carcinoma from normal lung tissues.

We demonstrate dynamic spectral shaping in an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with multiple scans of segmented spectral bands and software signal processing. With an effective spectral full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 45 nm, centered at 950 nm, we compress the interference fringe FWHM from 31 microns down to 7 microns, which is smaller than the theoretical limit of 8.9 microns if a Gaussian spectral shape is assumed, through the combined effect of dispersion compensation and spectral shaping.

Inflammation is a defense mechanism against various noxious stimuli. The recruitment of host leukocytes to sites of injury results in increased regional microvascular leakage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Excessive inflammatory activity not only eliminates offending stimuli but also result in tissue damage, as evidenced in reperfusion injury of the heart. To investigate spatial-temporal evolution of acute inflammation after myocardial reperfusion injury, we monitored microvascular leakage and reactive oxygen species generation with optical mapping technique. Reperfusion injury was performed on isolated blood-perfused rat heart, and it was labeled with dihydroethidium and large molecular weight tetramethylrhodamine conjugated dextran. Tissue was illuminated with a 532 nm laser, and epifluorescence at 580 and 650 nm was collected through 2 separate band pass filters. Our results indicate that 1. Optical mapping of myocardial inflammation is feasible; and 2. Reperfusion injury elicits substantial microvascular leakage and ROS production.

Based on the multiwavelength laser-based photoacoustic tomography, noninvasive imaging of cerebral blood oxygenation and blood volume in small-animal brains in vivo was realized. The high sensitivity of this technique is based on the spectroscopic differences between oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobins whereas its spatial resolution is diffraction-limited by the photoacoustic signals. The point-by-point distributions of hemoglobin oxygen saturation and total concentration of hemoglobin in the cerebral cortical venous vessels, altered by systemic physiological modulations including hyperoxia and hypoxia, were visualized successfully through the intact skin and skull. This technique can potentially accelerate the progress in neuroscience and provide important new insights into cerebrovascular physiology and brain function.
