Aims & Scope

Aims

Journal of Bio-optics is a new journal aiming to provide a multidisciplinary and quality forum for scientists, engineers and clinicians doing research and technology in optics and photonics applied or related to biology or medicine. The journal will host novel contributions to all aspects of the applications of light and its related technologies to improve health. This will cover studies from basic research to technical developments and clinically oriented studies where optics innovations play a significant role. Journal of Bio-optics is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.
