Imaging blood vessels in early-stage avian embryos has a variety of practical applications, but optical imaging faces significant challenges like eggshell opacity and light scattering. https://bit.ly/4dTMffs To overcome these limitations, Caltech researchers revisit an approach based on laser speckle contrast imaging, demonstrating a high-quality and non-invasive visualization of blood vessels in few-day-old chicken eggs. The method has potential applications for studies of cardiovascular development and angiogenesis. #biology #biomedicaloptics #scienceandtechnology #imaging

#TBT to #WorldPhotoDay! Did you know? Edwin Land, #OpticaHonoraryMember and co-founder of Polaroid, created the first inexpensive filters that polarized light. At first, photographs were developed with chemical baths, drying equipment, and other supplies over days. Instead, Land created a tool with both a negative film and a positive receiving sheet: Instant photography. 📸 He introduced the “Land Camera” at our 1947 Winter Meeting.
