Stage of research
Researchers designed electro-optical gratings for fluorescence microscopy - a drop in to existing systems with no new lenses. Researchers demonstrate a 9x improvement on FOV using Olympus 10x/0.6NA WI immersion objective at 3.3 Hz.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
Stanford researchers have developed an ultrafast multi-foci two-photon microscope system that aims at 1 kHz full frame rate with 500x500 ?m2 field of view (FOV). It utilizes a 2D foci-array pattern and 1D scanning mechanism to achieve full FOV excitation coverage.
To better understand how the brain processes information and generates behavior, researchers in Dr. Liqun Luo's lab have generated the FosTRAP and ArcTRAP mouse strains.
