In this article, we report on studies aimed at sensing of the stiffness of membranes, particularly in the case of vesicles. A
local approach could be done with AFM techniques but the local information is not pertinent for non homogeneous
membranes. To solve this problem, we have developed and checked a specific sensor based on a vibrating sphere. The
near-field acoustic wave enables to characterize biological particles which change the apparent viscosity and density of
the surrounding fluid. The microsphere is well suited for very small volumes of liquid (typically about one microliter).
Globally, the microsensor is based on a silicon cantilever which is glued on a piezoelectric transducer at its clamped end.
The sphere is connected to the cantilever with a small glass rod (the core of an optical fiber). When operating, the sphere
is immersed inside the investigated liquid and the piezoelectric actuator is excited with a low frequency generator. The
vibration of the cantilever is sensed with a heterodyne laser probe. The plot of the response of the sensor (Bode plot)
allows computing the properties of the liquid. When biological cells or vesicles are in the fluid, the effect of the
biological elements is detectable and can be discriminated. We will present the microsensor and the optical probe which
have allowed doing the described measurements. The theoretical study will show the influence of the different
parameters and the crucial role of the optical probe to detect the low amplitude vibrations of the cantilever. The
experimental results demonstrate the high sensitivity of the sensor to small variation of the composition of the fluid
(water), particularly in the case of small vesicles of different kinds. Practically, this is a simulation of cells sensing.

White-light endoscopy is well-established and wide used modality. However, despite the many technological advances
that have been occurred, conventional endoscopy is suboptimal and usually detects advanced stage lesions. The
limitations of standard endoscopy initiate development of spectroscopic techniques, additional to standard endoscopic
equipment. One of the most sensitive approaches is fluorescence spectroscopy of gastrointestinal mucosa for neoplasia
detection. In the recent study delta-aminolevulinic acid/Protoporphyrin IX (5-ALA/PpIX) is used as fluorescent marker
for dysplasia and tumor detection in esophagus. The 5-ALA is administered per os six hours before measurements at
dose 20 mg/kg weight. Excitation source has max of emission at 405 nm and light is delivered by the standard light guide
of the endoscopic equipment. Through endoscopic instrumental channel a fiber is applied to return information about
fluorescence to microspectrometer. Spectral features observed during endoscopic investigations could be distinct as the
next regions: 450-630 nm region, where tissue autofluorescence is observed; 630-710 nm region, where fluorescence of
PpIX is clearly pronounced; 530-580 nm region, where minima in the autofluorescence signal are observed, related to reabsorption
of blood. The lack of fluorescence peaks in the red spectral area for normal mucosa is an indication for
selective accumulation of 5-ALA/PpIX only in abnormal sites Very good correlation between fluorescence signals and
histology examination of the lesions investigated is achieved.

In the recent years, there has been growing interest in the common use of laser-induced autofluorescence (LIAF) and
reflectance spectroscopy (RS) to differentiate disease from normal surrounding tissue - so called optical biopsy method.
Painless, instant diagnoses from optical biopsies will soon be a reality. These forms of optical diagnoses are preferable to
the removal of several square millimeters of tissue surface - common in traditional biopsies - followed by delays while
samples are sent for clinical analysis. The goal of this work was investigation of cutaneous benign and malignant lesions
by the methods of LIAFS and RS. A nitrogen laser at 337 nm was applied for the needs of autofluorescence excitation.
Broad-spectrum halogen lamp (from 400 to 900 nm) was applied for diffuse reflectance measurements. An associated
microspectrometer detected in vivo the fluorescence and reflectance signals from human skin. The main spectral features
of benign lesions - compound nevus, dysplastic nevi, heamangioma and basal cell papilloma and malignant lesions - pigmented, amelanotic and secondary malignant melanoma, as well as basal cell carcinoma are discussed and their
possible origins are indicated. Spectra from healthy skin areas near to the lesion were detected to be used posteriori to
reveal changes between healthy and lesion skin spectra. Influence of the main skin pigments on the spectra detected is
discussed and evaluation of possibilities for differentiation between malignant and benign lesions is made based on their
spectral properties. This research shows that non-invasive and high-sensitive in vivo detection by means of appropriate
light sources and detectors should be possible, related to real-time determination of existing pathological conditions.

The calculation of permeability coefficient of analytes could potentially be used in a variety of basic science and
clinical fields, as well as advanced diagnostic imaging. Before this can occur, a more thorough understanding of the
diffusion rate of analytes in biological tissues is needed. For this task, we utilized Optical Coherence Tomography for
the functional imaging of glucose diffusion through rabbit sclera tissues. The permeability coefficients were calculated
for different concentrations of glucose solution as they diffused through the tissue. From the experiments performed it
was noticed that the concentration of the analyte was inversely proportional to the permeability coefficient calculated.
The permeability coefficient of glucose solution with lower concentration was faster when compared with higher
concentration. The decrease in the permeability coefficient ranged from (1.67 ± 0.17) x 10-5 cm/sec with the 10%
glucose solution to (5.08 ± 0.23) x 10-6cm/sec of 25% glucose solution. The results of this study could expand the use
of the permeability coefficient into the field of diagnostic imaging.

The uniaxial optical activity induced by constant magnetic field in hemoglobin solutions is theoretically analyzed for
various hemoglobin conformations and orientations of magnetic field. A rotatory power function for the description of
molecular optical activity is proposed. The rotatory power for hemoglobin is calculated as a function of frequency of
incident light and its direction in relation to the molecular axes.

The refractive index is a basic optical property of a medium which is of great importance in physics, chemistry
and most of biomedical applications. In our current study we monitor the change in refractive index for aqueous
solutions of glucose, CaCl2, MgCl2, NaCl, KCl and urea using a phase sensitive spectral domain optical coherence
tomography (ph-SOCT) system. For instance, glucose induced changes in the phase are found to be 0.079 rad/mM
in 200μm thick cuvette for clear media and that is in good agreement with literature and our previous obtained data
using phase sensitive low coherence optical reflectometry(PS-OLCR). The importance of this study is to
demonstrate the capability of ph-SOCT to monitor ultra small changes in refractive index in clear media and the
accuracy for glucose sensing is estimated to be ±2.6×10-6.

Benefits of employing laser and optical technologies in clinical dermatology are enormous, including solving the
complex of questions in diagnosis and treatments of many skin diseases; introducing new methods of diagnosis,
treatment and its evaluation; advancing fundamental understanding not only of physiology of skin itself, but also of pathophysiology of different dermatological diseases and conditions. Through numerous innovations in laser and optical
technologies a variety of specific and important information has become available in clinical dermatology on real-time
normal and lesional skin characterization and visualization, on different type and pattern recognition, on monitoring of
several dermatological conditions, on assessment of various parameters for measuring dynamics of skin lesions with
further possibilities to assess severity of skin symptoms, and on evaluation of different treatment regimes and their
comparisons. After a decade of experiences in inter- and multi-disciplinary research I would like to share the wisdom and
pitfalls of my work how to get laser and optical technologies into clinical practice of dermatological interest, that are
discussed in the paper.

Phagocytosis is a complex process involving attachment, ingestion and intracellular processing of bacteria by phagocytes. A great difficulty in the evaluation of this process is to differentiate between attachment of the particles to the cell surface
and internalization of the particles by the cells. Various techniques have been used to differentiate internalized and surface-attached bacteria in cultured cells, but only a few permit differentiations between surface-bound and internalized bacteria.
In this study the quenching of fluorescence by crystal violet on acridine orange stained bacterial biofilm and planktonic
bacterial cells is used to differentiate between surface-bound and internalized bacteria within macrophages. Method: One
week old Enterococcus faecalis biofilm was grown on perspex and glass substrates in All-Culture medium (nutrient-rich
condition) and phosphate buffered saline (nutrient-deprived condition). As model systems, human monocytic (THP-1) and
histiocytic (U937) cell lines were used. These cell lines were incubated with the biofilm bacteria for 4 hrs in CO2 incubator
at 37oC. The cells and bacteria were stained with acridine orange and quenched with crystal violet to distinguish between
surface-bound and internalized bacteria. Results: The presence of green-fluorescing internalized bacteria was detected
within the macrophages under the planktonic, nutrient-rich and nutrient-deprived biofilm conditions. All infecting bacteria
take up acridine orange and fluoresced green, crystal violet quenched the fluorescence of extra-cellular adhering bacteria so
that only fluorescent intracellular bacteria would be visible under fluorescent light microscopy.

Differential Mueller matrix of nondepolarizing anisotropic homogeneous media is derived. It has been shown that
equality of refraction indexes (absorption coefficients) of anisotropic media is not sufficient condition for the absence of
birefringence (dichroism). Additional conditions for the eigenpolarizations of media to be pure dichroic or birefringent
has been analysed. Relation between differential Jones matrix and permittivity and conductivity tensors is derived. It
has been shown that eigenpolarizations are nonorthogonal only if eigenvectors of permittivity and conductivity tensors
not coincide.

The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modeling technique is applied to build a simple simulation equivalent of
an optical phase contrast microscope. The model is validated by demonstrating the effect of optical immersion on the
optical phase contrast microscope image of a simple biological cell containing a cytoplasm, a nucleus and a membrane.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study using the FDTD approach to construct optical phase contrast
microscope images. The results demonstrate the potential of the FDTD modelling approach and extend its area of
applicability a new biomedical research area.

In order to find a non-invasive way to improve the efficacy of skin optical clearing with topically applied optical clearing
agents (OCA), we evaluated the effect of azone ® (epsilon-Laurocapram) as a chemical penetration enhancer on optical
clearing of intact skin in vitro. Fresh porcine skin with topical application of glycerol (G) mixed with water-soluble
azone (A) was investigated using near-infrared spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Light
transmittance at 1276 nm increased by 41% and diffuse reflectance at 1066 nm decreased by 29% at 60 min after
treatment with 40%G5%A on a spectrophotometer with an internal integrating sphere. 40% glycerol with addition of
azone was a more effective optical clearing agent than 40% and 80% glycerol. 60%G/5%A led to a 2-fold increase in
achievable OCT imaging depth and a 2.2-fold increase in light intensity reflected off the underneath needle surface after
60 minutes in the OCT in-depth reflectance profiles. In conclusion, skin optical clearing with the topical application of
glycerol was markedly enhanced by water-soluble azone. Skin permeation enhancing effect of azone accounts probably
for the skin clearing enhancement.

Optical imaging in biomedicine is governed by the light absorption and scattering interaction on microscopic and
macroscopic constituents in the medium. Therefore, light scattering characteristics of human tissue correlate with the
stage of some diseases. In the near infrared range the scattering event with the coefficient approximately two orders of
magnitude greater than absorption plays a dominant role. When measuring the optical parameters variations were
discovered that correlate with the rheumatoid arthritis of a small joint. The potential of an experimental setup for
transillumination the finger joint with a laser diode and the pattern of the stray light detection are demonstrated. The
scattering caused by skin contains no useful information and it can be removed by a deconvolution technique to enhance
the diagnostic value of this non-invasive optical method. Monte Carlo simulations ensure both the construction of the
corresponding point spread function and both the theoretical verification of the stray light picture in rather complex
geometry.

We introduce the concept of tuning in the low-coherence trans-illumination interferometer to enhance its overall
applicability (i.e., to enable selective diagnosis from different tissue regions). Modulation artifacts of the tuned
interferometer are restricted to the reference arm. Displacements in this system, for pass-through photon-based modality,
must be inverted. Tuning of specific radiation depends on modulation parameters and coherence-time gate. We propose
to use Recurrence Plots and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) as a robust platform to identify different tuning
states in the trans-illumination experiment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that recurrence analyses
are employed in trans-illumination studies. We suggest the quantitative metric of Determinism as a reference to assess
the degree of tuning of the instrument. Theoretical results confirm that RQA may be useful for discriminating between
different tuning states, including photon isolation for pass-through photon-based biomedical trans-illumination.

Skeletal muscle is a fibrous tissue composed by muscle fibers and interstitial fluid. Due to this constitution, the muscle
presents a non uniform refractive index profile that origins strong light scattering. One way to improve tissue
transmittance is to reduce this refractive index mismatch by immersing the muscle in an optical clearing agent. As a
consequence of such immersion tissue also suffers dehydration. The study of the optical clearing effect created by a
simple mixture composed by ethanol, glycerol and distilled water has proven its effectiveness according to the variations
observed in the parameters under study. The effect was characterized in terms of its magnitude, time duration and
histological variations. The applied treatment has created a small reduction of the global sample refractive index that is
justified by the long time rehydration caused by water in the immersing solution. From the reduction in sample pH we
could also identify the dehydration process created in the sample. The immersion treatment has originated fiber bundle
contraction and a spread distribution of the muscle fiber bundles inside. New studies with the mixture used, or with other
combinations of its constituents might be interesting to perform with the objective to develop new clinical procedures.

Dentinal permeation is of interest in a wide context of tooth care and treatment, in particular, tooth color improvement using combination of chemical whitening agents and light activation. A simple model of dentinal permeation accounting for the morphology of human tooth dentine and including dentinal tubules, more dense and homogeneous peritubular dentine, and less dense and less homogeneous intertubular dentin is proposed. Calculation of permeability of dentine layer is carried out for H2O and H2O2 versus the tubule diameter and tubule density taken from the microphotograph analysis. This opens the possibility to calculate the distribution of permeability over the tooth surface taking into account the variations of tubule diameter and density as well as those of the diffusion coefficients and layer thickness
