Abstract

Biophotonics technologies are widely used in biomedical research, in the detection and treatment of diseases and health conditions, and in point-of-care healthcare clinics. This chapter describes advanced tools and implementations such as optical tweezers and optical trapping techniques that enable microscopic manipulation of cells and molecules for exploring biological materials and functions in the micrometer and nanometer regime, miniaturized photonics-based instrumentation functions and devices such as the lab-on-a-chip and lab-on-fiber technologies, microscope-in-a-needle concepts to enable 3-dimensional scanning of malignant tissue within the body, and optogenetics procedures which attempt to explore and understand the mechanisms of neuronal activity in organs such as the brain and the heart.
