Strongly absorbing molecules make tissue transparent: a new insight for understanding tissue optical clearing by Tingting Yu, Dan Zhu

“…Abstract Optical imaging plays a central role in the field of biomedicine, but it suffers from the light scattering of tissues. The research group from Stanford University has reported a counterintuitive observation that strongly absorbing molecules could achieve optical transparency in live animals, providing a new insight for understanding tissue optical clearing. …”

Simple Modeling of the Ratio of Fields at a Tip and a Contacting Surface with External Illumination by E. Bortchagovsky

“…The analysis of the relation of fields generated at a tip and a contacting surface is performed in the Rayleigh approximation of a simple dipole model for the standard configuration of tip-enhanced Raman scattering experiments with external excitation. A comparison of the present results with the previous ones obtained for the case of tip-source reveals the role of tip-surface configuration as the amplifier of the exciting field and the stronger influence of roughness on the field distribution at external illumination, as roughness is directly excited by the external field producing second source of field in addition to the tip.…”
