This invention, the “Charge Cloud Tracker” is a fast, low-cost, strip geometry x-ray detector that is predicted to provide limiting resolution on the order of 5 microns, with very high x-ray detection efficiency.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a quantitative, noninvasive, and early predictor of viability at the early embryo and oocyte stage using mechanical biomarkers.
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.
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.
A Stanford researcher leverages common wafer manufacturing processes to optimize the performance of photonic bandgap (PBG) crystals for a variety of applications.
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.
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.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a fast adaptive optics system for scanning, 3D imaging and sensing with a small (50 µm) multimode fiber (MMF).
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.
Stanford researchers at the Moerner Lab have designed a family of point spread functions (PSFs), the Tetrapod PSFs, for high precision three-dimensional position measurement of individual particle positions over a large, customizable depth range in optical microscopy.
