From Light to Sound: Frontiers in Deep Tissue Imaging
Recent years have seen rapid developments in deep tissue imaging technologies. In addition to the usual suspects in optical microscopy (longer wavelength excitation, wavefront control), methods using sound waves (photoacoustic and ultrasonic) have shown increasing potential for monitoring physiological events deep inside biological tissue. We expect that bringing the pioneers of these distinct fields together in this meeting will foster the exchange of ideas and concepts. Exposing the technology developers to Janelia (and our research goals) may help them to identify research opportunities in developing their methods for the neuroscience applications. In addition to the experts noted below, we also hope to invite some developers of contrast agents/probes (for both ultrasound and light microscopy), as availability of suitable probes is often the limiting factor for imaging technology.
