The course will present different biosensing technologies with main focus paid to optical technologies. The course will also
introduce the students to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, x-ray imaging, PET and other latest technologies in
wide use. As basis of optical sensing technology, the students will be revised of the light properties and their interaction
with biological matter. They will be introduced to the basic properties of light such as reflection, refraction, scattering
and absorption with emphasis on the scattering properties that include Rayleigh and Mie scattering. Students will be introduced
to common microscopes and their limitations, development of super-resolution optical microscopes including NSOM (near-field
scanning optical microscope) STED (Stimulated emission depletion), Light sheet microscope and so on. The course will also
cover other technologies such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), optical interferometric techniques, opto-genetics, Raman
imaging and cutting edge technologies that are under research and also commercially used. By the end of the course, the students
should get an idea of how the biologicals systems could be investigated from molecular level to system level and the challenges
involved.
The course is meant for students who are interested in the technologies employed in investigating biological systems and understand
the principle of different technologies. Students who have prior knowledge of optical physics principles will find it easier
as all the technologies are based on different optical phenomena.

Students will be evaluated based on their scores in inclass quiz, midterm exam and final presentation. Students will be encouraged
to choose an instrument that is present at technoplaza and make a presentation explaining the principle of operation, uses
and limitations. The final score is evaluated based on in-class quiz (15%), midterm test (35%), and final assignment (50%).
Credit will be given only when the score is equal or above 60% out of 100% in total.
Will be provided material by the teacher through Scomb for every class.
Interest in optical technologies and their application to biological systems from micro to system level. Understanding of
fundamental optical phenomenon will be useful but not a prerequisite.
