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 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 have developed a hydrodynamic treadmill system for a tracking microscope that allows long term observations of biological and abiotic systems over large length and time scales.
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 at the Kasevich Lab have developed a module that can attach to any standard optical system or sensor for wide-field, time-resolved 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.
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).
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.
Dr. Karl Deisseroth and Dr. Raju Tomer have developed a CLARITY optimized light-sheet microscope (COLM) for rapid, high-resolution imaging of large intact tissue samples.
