is an exciting field that investigates fundamental principles and develops new optical technology for the interaction of light or photons with biological organisms, tissues, cells, and molecules.
Be a part of BIL! We have open positions for interested post-doctoral scholars and graduate students.
Welcome to our photo gallery! We cherish every image we take through our awesome microscopes, every figure that we make, and every photo that we take. We highlight a few of them here.
