This short review discusses the recent developments in low-cost, high-resolution optoacoustic microscopy systems, integrating laser diodes for signal excitation, which are 20-40 times cheaper than the typically employed Q-switched nanosecond laser sources. The development of laser diode-based microscopes can substantially improve not only cost efficiency, but also multispectral capabilities, robustness, portability and overall imaging performance of the optoacoustic technique. To this end, we demonstrate relevant implementations in both time and frequency domain, highlighting their representative applications in biomedical research such as microvasculature imaging, oxygen saturation assessments, hybrid and multiview microscopy of model organisms and tissues and Doppler flow speed measurements. Finally, we analyse the benefits and limitations of each approach, identifying the respective application contexts where they achieve optimum performance.

Background: Facial prosthetics are an important means to rehabilitate patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. However, with a time-consuming manual workflow and workforce shortage, access to facial prosthetics is limited in Australia and worldwide, especially for rural and remote patients. Optical 3D scanning has been increasingly integrated in digitizing data.

The increasing demand for air pollution control has driven the application of low-cost sensors (LCS) in air quality monitoring, enabling higher observation density and improved air quality predictions. However, the inherent limitations in data quality from LCS necessitate the development of effective methodologies to optimize their application. This study established a hybrid framework to enhance the accuracy of spatiotemporal predictions of PM, standard instrument measurements were employed as reference data for the remote calibration of LCS.

Quantification of cyanobacterial CO fixation rates is vital to determining their potential as industrial strains in a circular bioeconomy. Currently, however, CO fixation rates are most often determined through indirect and/or low-resolution methods, resulting in an incomplete picture of both dynamic behaviors and total carbon fixation potential. To address this, we developed the "Automated Carbon and CO Experimental Sampling System" (ACCESS); a low-cost system for in situ off-gas analysis that supports the automated acquisition of high-resolution volumetric CO uptake rates from multiple cyanobacterial cultures in parallel.

Background: Numerous studies have explored image processing techniques aimed at enhancing ultrasound images to narrow the performance gap between low-quality portable devices and high-end ultrasound equipment. These investigations often use registered image pairs created by modifying the same image through methods like down sampling or adding noise, rather than using separate images from different machines. Additionally, they rely on organ-specific features, limiting the models' generalizability across various imaging conditions and devices.

A high-resolution and low-cost image-based water level sensor was developed using an image processing algorithm. The sensor measures water levels in six channels simultaneously. The image processing algorithm automatically identifies water level images and determines the water levels by analyzing the brightness of the images.
