The role and importance of mechanical properties of cells and tissues in cellular function,
development and disease has widely been acknowledged, however standard techniques …

The Year 2022 marks 100 years since Leon Brillouin predicted and theoretically described
the interaction of optical waves with acoustic waves in a medium. Accordingly, this resonant …

Brillouin microscopy is a technique for mechanical characterization of biological material
without contact at high three-dimensional resolution. Here, we introduce dual line-scanning …

Many important biological functions and processes are reflected in cell and tissue
mechanical properties such as elasticity and viscosity. However, current techniques used for …

Brillouin spectroscopy and imaging are emerging techniques in analytical science,
biophotonics, and biomedicine. They are based on Brillouin light scattering from acoustic …

Maintaining and modulating mechanical anisotropy is essential for biological processes.
However, how this is achieved at the microscopic scale in living soft matter is not always …

Brillouin microscopy is an emerging optical elastography technique capable of assessing
mechanical properties of biological samples in a three-dimensional, all-optical and …

Label-free, non-contact imaging with mechanical contrast and optical sectioning is a
substantial challenge in microscopy. Spontaneous Brillouin scattering microscopy meets this …

Brillouin microscopy can assess mechanical properties of biological samples in a three-
dimensional (3D), all-optical and hence non-contact fashion, but its weak signals often lead …

Several techniques have been developed over the past few decades to assess the
mechanical properties of biological samples, which has fueled a rapid growth in the fields of …
