Anastomotic insufficiencies still represent one of the most severe complications in colorectal surgery. Since tissue perfusion highly affects anastomotic healing, its objective assessment is an unmet clinical need. Indocyanine green-based fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) have received great interest in recent years but surgeons have to decide between both techniques. For the first time, two data processing pipelines capable of reconstructing an ICG-FA correlating signal from hyperspectral data were developed. Results were technically evaluated and compared to ground truth data obtained during colorectal resections. In 87% of 46 data sets, the reconstructed images resembled the ground truth data. The combined applicability of ICG-FA and HSI within one imaging system might provide supportive and complementary information about tissue vascularization, shorten surgery time, and reduce perioperative mortality.

Droplet-based microfluidics is a powerful tool for high-throughput analysis of liquid samples with significant applications in biomedicine and biochemistry. Nevertheless, extracting content-rich information from single picolitre-sized droplets at high throughputs remains challenging due to the weak signals associated with these small volumes. Overcoming this limitation would be transformative for fields that rely on high-throughput screening, enabling broader multiparametric analysis.

The design of photobioreactors for microalgae cultivation aims to achieve an architecture that allows the most efficient photosynthetic growth. The availability of light at wavelengths that are important for photosynthesis is therefore particularly crucial for reactor design. While testing different reactor types in practice is expensive, simulations could effectively limit the range of material and reactor design options.

Fourier transform spectrometers that utilize high-precision moving mirrors generally struggle to enhance their miniaturization and stable real-time performance. A static infrared spectral measurement method is proposed that uses micro/nano-optical devices as the core of static interference and lightweight imaging.

Our findings indicate that steeper sidewall mesas can reduce non-radiative recombination and leakage current, which is beneficial for achieving high internal quantum efficiency (IQE). However, as the sidewall angle increases, the light output from the micro-LED tends to concentrate in the internal region, leading to a decrease in light extraction efficiency (LEE).

Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) via embryo biopsy helps in embryo selection by assessing embryo ploidy. However, clinical practice needs to consider the invasive nature of embryo biopsy, potential mosaicism, and inaccurate representation of the entire embryo. This creates a significant clinical need for improved diagnostic practices that do not harm embryos or raise treatment costs.
