https://doi.org/10.1364/BOE.10.001856 I really like this one, tackling a Proteus challenge of making those annoying green fluorophores stand out against the green lung tissue in fluorescence imaging. But green doesn't just mean green, it's all about the shades of green..... https://youtu.be/tn5YsW2TJH8 So, in fluorescence imaging when pumped with blue light, normally the resulting "green" light coming …

  This site wasn't supposed to be just a list of outputs, sorry, got lazy...... But for now, really happy to get this work out. Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging down an optic fibre, at 1fps.... fully exploiting the parellisation of 1024 single photon detectors on one chip. I think it's pretty cool (and makes the bacteria …

Latest efforts with exotic fibre designs from the University of Bath for miniaturised single fibre probes for Raman sensing, which in the future could enable better in vivo possibilities. Nice work Stephanos. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jbio.201800239  

Holly's work demonstrrating a practical solution for fibre optical SERS pH sensing with good signal strengths, also combined with bacterial sampling. Nice to see this coming out in the Analyst. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8AN01322E

Three talks in a row at Photon18 this year from me and my students. Katjana gives an invited talk on time resolved spectroscopy. Helen covers the latest results on multispectral imaging. I give an overview of medical device location with time resolved single photon imaging.   Should be fun.....

We had a strong presence at Photics Europe this year with a trio of talks. Nice to network within the EU. Multispectral fibre endoscope imaging system for enhanced visualisation of smartprobes (Conference Presentation) Helen Parker; James M. Stone; Tom Speight; Robert R. Thomson; Kevin Dhaliwal; Nikola Krstajić; Michael G. Tanner https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2307563   Time-resolved single photon …

Helen Parker won both the gold for the physics category, and was the overall winner of the whole STEM for Britain competition at Westminster. Nice! Now we just need to write the paper..... http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018winnersphotos.asp http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018psr/HParker%20-%20STEMforBritain.pdf

Time resolved spectroscopy for enhancing single optic fibre miniaturised probes. Nice work form Katjana.     https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.25.030976

The headine isn't exactly as I would describe it, but wide press attention for the medical device locating camera. Nice to get the coverage: Nice piece on the BBC website (and many others). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-41140654 Few radio interviews (Radio4, World Service). BBC TV. Physics world gives a fuller solid article. https://physicsworld.com/a/single-photons-pinpoint-objects-inside-living-tissue/ and more below. Now back …

Our new way to locate medical devices deep inside tissue just published in BOE. We're very excited about this. https://www.osapublishing.org/boe/abstract.cfm?uri=boe-8-9-4077
