Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of non-ionizing radiation offers great promise as a non-invasive medical diagnosis tool. Despite the limited penetration depth in living tissue, optical methods are steadily bridging the gap between radiology and histopathology, due to their sensitivity to molecular, functional and structural content. This Special Issue attempts to cover novel works in tissue diagnostics using optical techniques. Contributions of both human studies and animal models are encouraged using either experimental approaches or analytical methods. The volume is open to innovative contributions involving aspects of the following topics:
- Molecular spectroscopy and microspectroscopy;
- Absorption, reflectance, emission and fluorescence spectroscopy;
- Light–tissue interactions;
- Optical clearing methods;
- Nonlinear microscopy, including multiphoton excited fluorescence, harmonic generation and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy;
- 2D imaging, e.g., laser, speckle, intrinsic signals, calcium and voltage, molecular, hyperspectral, thermal-infrared imaging;
- Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) of the brain and other organs;
- Tomographic imaging, such as optical coherence tomography, diffuse optical tomography and photoacoustic tomography.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
