摘要
Biomedical optics is an interdisciplinary subject of optics and life sciences.In recent years,as researches of life scienee have entered microscopic scale at cellular level,the application of optics in biomedical researches has been extensively studied.Biomedical optics can be divided into two major blanches according to research purposes.One is to use advaneed optical methods to obtain biomedical information,whose recent trend of development is highspeed in vivo imagi ng,such as super-resoluti on imaging[1],fluoresce nee imagi ng[2],optical cohere nee tomography[3],and photoacoustic imaging[4],The other is to use the interaction of light and biological tissues for disease treatment,such as photodynamic therapy[5],whose recent trend of development is precise treatment.This special issue on"Biomedical Optics" in eludes two reviews and six research articles,coveri ng most of the topics mentioned.
