The 13 papers explore how the science and technology of generating, manipulating, and measuring light are being applied in the life sciences. Among the topics are integrated optical sensors, controlling the optical properties of tissue and blood, the chemical analysis of biological samples with Raman spectroscopy, single molecule fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, and photodynamic therapy photodynamic therapy n. A type of phototherapy in which a nontoxic light-sensitive compound that has been injected into a patient is exposed selectively to light, whereupon it becomes toxic to targeted malignant and other diseased cells. .
