Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have patented a revolutionary technique that can be utilized to map neural circuits in the whole brain.
Stanford researchers have developed a device that combines one-photon and two-photon microscopy using fast temporal multiplexing enabling 3D alignment between in vivo and ex vivo data for neuroscience and spatial biology applications.
Stanford researchers at the Kasevich Lab have developed a module that can attach to any standard optical system or sensor for wide-field, time-resolved imaging.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
Researchers in Prof. W.E. Moerner's laboratory have developed a compact point spread function (PSF) that enables optical imaging in three dimensions with nanoscale precision using a limited number of photons.
Stanford researchers have designed a tunable wedge-based phase mask for 3D super-resolution imaging that can simultaneously determine both the position and rotational mobility of individual light-emitting molecules from a single camera image.
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.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed an optical imaging and optogenetics two photon laser system that uses a single beam to illuminate many sites in three-dimensions.
W.E. Moerner and Adam Cohen have patented the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic trap (ABEL trap) which can trap, measure, and manipulate sub-micron objects (e.g. single molecules) in solution at ambient temperature.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have developed a microscope and methods to allow simultaneous recording of multiple different brain regions in a freely moving and behaving animal. There is much interest in understanding how the brain works.
