Life and health science optics is a rapidly developing field. Advanced optical technologies are breaking the boundaries of knowledge and opening up new areas every day. Sun Optics can produce a wide range of high-performance optical components and imaging systems for biotechnology, life science research and medical applications.
Imaging systems for life science applications are composed of complex equipment, including optical components such as microscope objectives, lenses, optical filters, polarizers, lasers, etc.
In biomedical engineering and drug delivery systems, optoelectronic devices are also applied in various biomedical fields, including bioimaging technology, biosensing technology, biodiagnostic technology and biotherapeutic technology. For instance, fluorescence imaging, holographic imaging and photoacoustic imaging technologies utilize photoelectric devices to detect the distribution of fluorescent molecules within tissues, record and reconstruct the holographic information of objects, and respectively detect the acoustic signals generated by tissues that absorb light energy. These technologies play an important role in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.
In terms of diagnosis, the application of optical components is mainly reflected in optical imaging examination and ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment. For instance, as a non-invasive diagnostic technique, optical imaging can provide high-resolution images without the use of any radioactive substances, which is of great significance for improving the accuracy and safety of diagnosis. In addition, fluorescence labeling technology enables specific cell or tissue parts to display fluorescence signals, allowing scientists to observe and study the movement and interaction of biomolecules through fluorescence microscopy, playing a crucial role in biomedical research.
In terms of treatment, the application of optical components is equally important, including laser therapy and optogenetics. Laser therapy, as a commonly used method, can be applied to treat a series of diseases such as cancer, myopia and glaucoma. Lasers of different wavelengths can achieve different therapeutic effects. For instance, infrared lasers can penetrate the skin and be absorbed into the bloodstream, thereby enhancing cellular metabolism and promoting tissue healing. On the other hand, optogenetics is a technology that uses optoelectronic devices to control the activity of biological cells. It has the advantages of non-invasiveness and high spatiotemporal specificity, and has broad application prospects in biomedical research.
