Optical microscopic techniques are the most commonly used methods in biology and medical research. In recent years, structured light plays vital roles to enhance resolution. In addition, metasurfaces, the emerging optical techniques, with unique optical capabilities to manipulate the basic characteristics of light have received a significant amount of interest in the optical microscopic field. This talk will introduce the latest studies on the biomedical use of structured light, as well as metasurface. The following are the topics that will be covered: quantitative cell imaging, optical sectioning microscopy; light sheet microscopy; and optical tweezers. This talk will also discuss the technological challenges presently encountered with metasurface from the point of view of preclinical and clinical systems.
