The past 20 years have seen new application of the physics of Brillouin light scattering to the fields of biology, bioengineering, and biomedicine. Mapping of the 3D micromechanical properties of biological systems with the focused beam of light holds great potential to provide new insights in the range of fundamental biology questions related to cell–matrix interactions, cell differentiation, and pathogenesis. In this chapter we introduce the main principles on which the field of BioBrillouin imaging stands, discuss major technological developments in the instrumentations of Brillouin microscopy, and provide a brief overview of key applications of this technology to various fields of biology and medicine.
