Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to publish articles focused on advanced technical studies in bioimaging, its applications in the life sciences, and its practical uses in clinical settings, veterinary practice, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, fisheries, and ecological field surveys. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Optical imaging, including fluorescence/luminescence imaging and super-resolution microscopy, which capture highly sensitive molecular imaging and fast molecular motion.
- Electron imaging, including transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, which show significant progress in terms of sample preparation.
- Magnetic resonance imaging, including diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference devices, and NV center-based biomagnetic imaging, which images previously unseen molecules and structures.
- Spatial omics, including spatial transcriptomics and mass imaging spectrometry, which combine multiple imaging techniques and show progress in data analysis.
- Other imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography, optical spectral imaging, acoustic imaging, ion mobility imaging, and AI-based imaging, which are crucial for advancing life sciences.
These technologies require specialized skills and a deep understanding of biological samples, and can, in a broad sense, be considered part of “biotechnology”. Challenging applications beyond traditional uses are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
