ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2010) The long, anxious wait for biopsy results could soon be over, thanks to a tissue-imaging technique developed at the University of Illinois.

The research team demonstrated the novel microscopy technique, called nonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging (NIVI), on rat breast-cancer cells and tissues. It produced easy-to-read, color-coded images of tissue, outlining clear tumor boundaries, with more than 99 percent confidence -- in less than five minutes.

ScienceDaily (Apr. 3, 2010) Imagine being able to image life as it happens by capturing video of the embryonic heart before it begins beating. A professor at the University of Houston, in collaboration with scientists at Baylor College of Medicine, is doing just that.

Kirill Larin, assistant professor of biomedical engineering in the Cullen College of Engineering at UH, and his colleagues in the Texas Medical Center are documenting the formation of the mammalian heart through a high-resolution, non-invasive imaging device, providing perhaps the best live imagery taken of the vital organ.

General Imaging has added to its new range of digital cameras for 2009 with its first ever waterproof budget camera, which gives clear, crisp images both in and out of the water.
The G3WP is a 12 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom and 4.5x digital zoom.
The Waterproof budget camera boasts advanced features as standard including face, blink and smile detection, as well as the new Auto Scene Detection and Pan Capture Panoramic features. The most exciting function by far is the underwater photography and movie capability.
