Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the development of optical imaging techniques and probes, noval applications of optical imaging methods in biomedical and other related fields has been promoted, especially the effective combination of new optical imaging techniques and biosensors. Innovations in laser scanning confocal imaging, two-photon imaging, fluorescence lifetime imaging, super-resolution imaging, light sheet microscopy and multimodal imaging have explored human understanding of live cells and organisms, promoting rapid developments of biomedicine
This special issue aims to highlight novel biosensing strategies and imaging modalities, which may expand the boundaries of resolution, sensitivity, and spatiotemporal precision in biomedical research. The focus will be on imaging-based biosensors that provide unique insights into clinical diagnostics, drug screening, disease surveillance, and basic biological fields.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
