Microscopy & Optical imaging
The human eye can focus from 20cm to
infinity control illumination and resolve to
±100 m however it can’t magnify

In the beginning there was …
Wilhelm RöntgenNobel Prize Physics 1901
Discovery of X-rays
22 December 1895Hand of Anna Berthe
23 January 1896Hand of Albert von Kölliker,
a famous anatomist
… the first medical image ?
The hand of a 12-year-old boy who had shot himself one month before his hand was examined by x-rays in 1896 at at Columbia University.

Biomarkers
The FDA defines a biomarker as, "A characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention".
