When a molecule absorbs a photon of appropriate energy, a chain of photophysical events
ensues, such as internal conversion or vibrational relaxation (loss of energy in the absence …

When it first appeared, multimodal fundus imaging revolutionized the diagnostic workup and
provided extremely useful new insights into the pathogenesis of fundus diseases. The recent …

During the past decades, numerous achievements concerning luminescent zinc oxide
nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been reported due to their improved luminescence and good …

Imaging techniques based on retinal autofluorescence have found broad applications in
ophthalmology because they are extremely sensitive and noninvasive. Conventional fundus …

Images generated by a microscope are never a perfect representation of the biological
specimen. Microscopes and specimen preparation methods are prone to error and can …

The use of luminescence in biological systems allows us to diagnose diseases and
understand cellular processes. Persistent luminescent materials have emerged as an …

A method of rapidly differentiating lung tumor from healthy tissue is extraordinarily needed
for both the diagnosis and the intraoperative margin assessment. We assessed the ability of …
