Adaptive Optics for Biomedical Imaging 2

Dear Colleagues,

Adaptive optics (AO) is a supporting technology that enhances optical imaging by reducing the aberrations of an imaging beam. The basic concept was first proposed for ground based telescopes with the aim of minimizing image blurring introduced by turbulences of the atmosphere. The benefits of this technology were rapidly recognized by researchers in different fields which resulted in a fast translation of AO into other optical modalities such as biological imaging or high power laser physics. Meanwhile, a large variety of different imaging instruments have been combined with AO resulting in an unprecedented quality of images acquired from biological tissue.

The special issue “Adaptive Optics for Biomedical Imaging” of the journal Applied Sciences is dedicated to cover some of the recent aspects in the development as well as in the application of adaptive optics in the field of biomedical imaging. These include, but are not limited to applications in vision science, microscopy and the development of computational methods for aberration correction.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
