Leica Scientific Forum Japan with Xiaoliang Sunney Xie – The Quest for Bioimaging with Nonlinear Optics – May 22 – 24, 2012 – Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo

May 22 – 24, 2012
Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo: “The Quest for Bioimaging with Nonlinear Optics”

Keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Xiaoliang Sunney Xie
Dept. of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

“The Quest for Bioimaging with Nonlinear Optics”

Professor Xie will talk about:

• Recent advances in label-free optical imaging, from linear to nonlinear, incoherent to coherent, offer high sensitivity and specificity, allowing wide applications to biology and medicine.

• Single-molecule absorption signals can be detected at room temperature.

• Stimulated Raman scattering microscopy allows in vivo imaging of chemical species based on their intrinsic vibrational frequencies with high speed, sensitivity, and specificity.
