The optics of blood is required in most areas of advanced optical imaging, laser applications, and biophotonics. Blood supplies practically in every single biological tissue, hence knowing blood properties is critical for all optical applications in diagnostics and therapy. This handbook, written by international leading experts, provides a comprehensive overview of the optics of blood. The topics will include:
physiology/morphology of blood via optical microscopy, fundamental optical properties of blood, optical methods of measurement of blood, and applications for diagnostics and therapy of blood using light-based methods.
1) Normal morphology and physiology of human blood including microscopy, (Jason Acker, University of Alberta, Canada) 2) Normal morphology and physiology of animal blood including microscopy, (Martina Meinke, University Clinic Charite, Berlin, Germany) 3) Normal blood supply in biological tissues including microcirculation and capillaroscopy, (Martin J Leahy, National University of Ireland, Galway) 4) Blood related disease, (William P. Sheffield, Canadian Blood Service) 5) Optical absorption in blood (Brian Wilson, University of Toronto, Canada) 6) Light scattering in still and moving blood (Ilya Yaroslavsky, IPG, USA, Anya Yaroslavsky, UMass Lowell, USA) 7) Connecting optical and physiological/morphological properties of blood (Alexandre Douplik, Ryerson University, Canada) 8) Optical clearing of blood (Valery Tuchin, Saratov University, Russia) 9) Raman scattering of blood (Juergen Popp, Jena University, Germany) 10) Optoacoustic properties of blood (Daniel Razansky, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland) 11) Measurements of blood by optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Alex Vitkin, University of Toronto, Canada) 12) Blood transfusion and optical diagnostics (Jason Acker, University of Alberta, Canada) 13) Laser processing and disinfection of blood (Victor Loschenov, Russian Academy of Science, Russia) 14) Software calculator of optical properties of blood based on its physiological parameters (hemoglobin concentration, oxygenation, hematocrit) and cell counting (Alexandre Douplik, Ryerson University, Canada)
