Evaluation of biological activity via biospeckle laser imaging

22/02/2026 Frontiers Journals

We describe the statistical characteristics of optical speckle patterns formed by illuminating biological tissues, commonly called biospeckles. The predominant techniques used to gather information from the movement of speckle patterns are detailed. Using vegetable tissues, we monitored the senescence process and created vascularization maps of leaf tissues. The Fujii method, which has been modified, has emerged as the most effective approach for highlighting the biological activity across leaf tissues. This technique relies on the presence of fluid flow to create highly detailed maps of tissue microcirculation. The method of temporal contrast evaluation produced a significant spectral activity map, which allowed for the detection of both instant and invisible bruised tissue. The evaluation revealed that biological specimens can exhibit a unique time history of speckle pattern (THSP) patterns, which may serve as a biological signature for the sample. Additionally, an activity index was calculated to define the assay's activity under different biological conditions, and the results were tested and verified across multiple samples.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
