BIL illustrations
An interdisciplinary field such as biophotonics needs to be communicated effectively. When words are not enough to convey our concepts and emotions, we let our creative juices flow and create amazing illustrations.
If you do use them in your research papers and presentations, please credit the artist and/or Biophotonics Imaging Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
A graphical representation of the various changes within neurons that have optical reporters measurable through label-free imaging.
