Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an ultracompact, high-quality-factor (high-Q) metasurface that enables more convenient phase contrast imaging. Phase contrast imaging is a critical technique in biology and medicine to image essentially transparent objects such as cells.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods for evaluating the position of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device in terms of phase and/or amplitude characteristics.
Stanford researchers at the Prakash Lab have developed Octopi, a low-cost ($250-$500) and reconfigurable autonomous microscopy platform capable of automated slide scanning and correlated bright-field and fluorescence imaging.
Stanford researchers at the Kasevich Lab have prototyped a multi-pass electron microscope that can image nanometer scale samples including electron damage sensitive proteins and other electron dose sensitive nanostructures with low damage.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
Researchers at the Solgaard Lab have demonstrated that light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) with structured and pivoting illumination enables fast image acquisition and improved image quality.
Precision in surgical removal of cancer is guided by pathological assessment of resected tissues, and there is a dire need to reduce the time and distance between the critical diagnostic events and the surgical procedure.
