Conventional optical imaging systems have played a crucial role in various biomedical applications, including diagnosis, drug development, and tissue engineering. However, they usually suffer from the requirements of bulky optical components, particularly when operating in environments with limited space. Metasurfaces, composed of artificially thin nanostructures that manipulate light at the nanoscale level enabling precise control of the phase, amplitude, and polarization of light, offer a promising solution to the limitation. These technologies can be used in a wide range of bio-imaging applications, including light sheet microscopy, endoscopy, confocal microscopy, and more. In this talk, we will explore the use of metasurfaces in various bio-imaging applications and discuss their potential for revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment in the biomedical field.
