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.
Professor Marc Levoy and collaborators have enhanced the performance of the light field microscope (LFM) by solving the problem of non-uniform spatial resolution across the working range, especially the low spatial resolution at the native objective plane (in the middle of the
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.
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).
