The field of biophotonics is rapidly emerging in both academia and industry. It is the convergence of photonics and life sciences. Photonics - the science and technology of light generation, manipulation and measurement - has itself seen a remarkable expansion in the past 20 years, both in research and in commercialization, particularly in telecommunications. The life sciences have an increasing need for new technologies to which photonics can make significant contributions. As biology and medicine move into the post-genomics era, it is increasingly important to have highly sensitive tools for

Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation has grown considerably in recent years largely due to advances in sensor technology, computational modeling and data analysis techniques. This publication discusses developments in numerical simulation of physical phenomena associated with electromagnetic NDE methods, new electromagnetic sensors, signal and image processing techniques and inverse solutions to NDE problems. Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (IX) emphasizes basic science and early engineering developments in the field, as well as practical application of emerging technologies to
