Chemical selective imaging for drug improvement - All you need is CARS

Area of relevance:
Health
Duration:
4 May 2006 - 4 May 2014 Affiliation:
University of Twente, Netherlands
Funded by:
Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Netherlands Abstract:
Many drugs need to be delivered slowly over an extended period of time. We built a microscope that provides chemically selective (CARS) imaging so that the diffusion of the drug can be visualized as it leaves the tablet. Improved imaging and characterization of the drug distribution inside the tabel and during the release will aid drug development.
Brochure and Web Gallery
The new EOS brochure "How optics and photonics address Europe's challenges of the 21sts century" is a collection of ongoing and future research projects conducted by researchers from European research laboratories, industries and universities. Targeted at scientists, politicians and the broad public alike, it illustrates novel optics and photonics-based solutions for the fields of health, environment, energy, production, information & communication and security.
