A heartfelt surprise at #OpticaBiophotonics26.
The Michael Feld Biophotonics Award ceremony was originally planned for September, but since I could not attend, @OpticaWorldwide kindly arranged a special moment during the plenary. Deeply grateful to optica and the committee.

Thrilled to announce our new publication! We introduce iDTT, a technique to map 3D optical “fingerprints” of materials. More stable than laser-based methods, it enables non-destructive 3D analysis for applications from materials science to biomedicine. https://t.co/bzVm2sPTFV

A compelling step toward quantitative immune signaling. Great to see @Tomocubeinc holotomography used for live-cell analysis. 👏

Congrats to the Mayo Clinic team on their Nature Immunology study showing SIRT2-mediated deacetylation of LCK (K228) sets TCR signaling magnitude.

Honored to receive the 2026 Michael S. Feld Biophotonics Award from @OpticaWorldwide

Grateful to my students, collaborators, and colleagues at KAIST and Tomocube. Biophotonics continues to reveal new dimensions of life through light—especially in quantitative phase imaging.

New Cell paper from Markus Basan lab (Harvard Medical School) using @Tomocubeinc holotomography

Shows how label-free biomass density measurement unlocks quantitative biology in live cells.
Beyond imaging. once unimaginable is now experimentally possible.

Reviewed 64 HT papers published in 2025 and mapped where the field is heading.
HT has moved beyond niche imaging → now a label-free 3D phenotyping platform across cell biology, organoids, pathology & infection, increasingly powered by AI.

Here’s a label-free 3D holotomography demo of a Drosophila ovariole, revealing the architecture of egg chambers and developmental stages in a fully quantitative, non-invasive way. @Tomocubeinc

🧬 Inside the Drosophila Ovariole
What if Drosophila oogenesis could be visualized
without dyes or fluorescent labels, in its native 3D structure?

If you are working on:
• Biophotonics & translational optics
• Advanced microscopy & histopathology
• Optical tomography, spectroscopy, or OCT
• Brain imaging and neuro-optics
I strongly encourage you to submit your work and be part of the 2026 program.

We’ll unveil our newest holotomography system and present our vision for the future.
- A decade of innovation, setting the stage for the future
- First look at breakthrough imaging technology
- Insights into our new global strategies & partnerships

[yongkeun (Paul) park @moofaca]

Tomocube has spent the past decade redefining 3D label-free imaging. Now, we’re ready to share the next chapter. 🚀 Join us for Tomocube TechDay on Mon, Sept 15 at 10 PM (KST).
