Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical bioimaging has emerged as a powerful tool for unraveling the complexities of biological systems at a microscopic or macroscopic level. Advances in imaging technologies, coupled with computational techniques, have opened new avenues for studying various physiological processes, tissue architecture, and disease progression. ;This Special Issue invites original research articles that contribute to the cutting edge of optical bioimaging.
We are seeking contributions that address a wide range of topics, ;including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel imaging systems and applications:Development and applications of advanced optical techniques, such as super-resolution microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, nonlinear optical imaging, optical coherence imaging, diffuse optical tomographic imaging, and bioluminescence and fluorescence molecular optical imaging.
- Numerical methods:Innovative computational algorithms for the modeling of light–tissue interactions, image reconstruction, analysis, and quantification in optical bioimaging.
- Data-driven approaches: Applications of machine learning, deep learning, and other data-driven techniques to improve photon migration, image reconstruction, image analysis, and interpretation.
- Spectroscopic imaging:Advances in techniques that utilize spectral information to characterize biological molecules and processes.
- Optical tomographic imaging:Novel methods for reconstructing two- and three-dimensional images of biological tissues using optical measurements.
- Photoacoustic spectroscopic and tomographic imaging: Novel methods and technologies that make use of the principle of photoacoustic imaging.
We encourage submissions from researchers at all stages of their careers who are passionate about advancing the field of optical bioimaging. By sharing your latest findings, you will contribute to a valuable resource for the scientific community and inspire future research.

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. Photonics 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 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.
