The editors introduce the Biomedical Optics Express feature issue "Optical Molecular Probes, Imaging, and Drug Delivery," which is associated with a Topical Meeting of the same name held at the 2013 Optical Society of America (OSA) Optics in the Life Sciences Congress in Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii, April 14-18, 2013. The international meeting focused on the convergence of optical physics, photonics technology, nanoscience, and photochemistry with drug discovery and clinical medicine. Papers in this feature issue are representative of meeting topics, including advances in microscopy, nanotechnology, and optics in cancer research.
编辑们介绍了《生物医学光学快报》的专题“光学分子探针、成像与药物递送”,该专题与2013年4月14日至18日在美国夏威夷威克洛亚海滩举行的美国光学学会(OSA)生命科学大会上举办的同名专题会议相关。这次国际会议聚焦于光学物理、光子技术、纳米科学和光化学与药物研发及临床医学的融合。本期专题中的论文代表了会议主题,包括癌症研究中显微镜技术、纳米技术和光学方面的进展。
