BIOPHOTONICS

Catalog description

(Slashed with CHEM 41010 ) (Cross-listed with BSCI 41110 and BSCI 51110 and PHY 41010 and PHY 51010) Interdisciplinary overview of the basics of biophotonics; application of biophotonic techniques to probe biological samples. Introduction to the foundations of optics and photonics and how the molecular structure of organic molecules translates into unique photonic properties and targeting in biological cells or tissue. Preparation of fluorescent materials, advanced spectroscopy and cell visualization using regular and confocal fluorescence microscopy.
