International pioneers in the research of label-free optical imaging provide an overview of the fundamentals and the diverse application potential of these innovative methods for medical diagnostics in the journal Nature Photonics. Among the four authors is the Scientific Director of the Leibniz IPHT in Jena, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Popp.

The Leibniz IPHT is one of the leading international research institutions in the field of optical health technologies. The focus is on optical imaging techniques for high-resolution imaging of tissue structures and chemical properties without external markers. The review marks an important step towards making label-free imaging more accessible to researchers and physicians and promoting greater interdisciplinary collaboration.

The RamanbioassayTM offers the potential to significantly accelerate the diagnosis of infectious diseases. In laboratory tests, the light-based method was able to identify pathogens, bacteria and their antibiotic resistances within a few hours. Based on these results, physicians could in the future make rapid therapy decisions and thus prevent life-threatening disease progression.
