How did you find PF?

via google search

I am a graduate student majoring in Biophotonics.
I am excited to be a member here in PF.
Looking forward to having discussions with you all!

Welcome to PF! It's good to have you here.

Can you describe in a few words what Biophotonics consists of? Thanks.

Thanks, Berkeman, for the response.
Biophotonics is a field about development and application of optical techniques, particularly imaging, to the study of biological molecules, cells and tissue. One of the example is OCT(optical coherence tomography) for visualizing ocular substructure.
