Stanford researchers have developed a patented microscopy method which can provide chemical identification of molecular structures with radiation spectroscopy at nanometer or near-atomic scales, which is one of the most challenging problems in microscopy.
Stanford researchers at the Dionne Lab have introduced new vibrational spectroscopy, termed electron- and light induced stimulated Raman (ELISR) scattering, in electron microscopy for simultaneous high-resolution chemical mapping of various samples.
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 have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
