Inventors at Stanford developed a method to leverage mass cytometry, a type of flow cytometry utilizing mass spectrometry, for the detection of heavy metals in leukocytes from individuals exposed to heavy metals in elevated air pollution.
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 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.
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).
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.
