  • e2v’s new CMOS sensors feature the world’s smallest true global shutter

    e2v has launched its ground breaking new Emerald family of CMOS image sensors. This new product family features the world’s smallest true global shutter pixel available on the market today (2.8µm). With a smaller optical format and higher resolutions, the new sensors lead to improved performance and reduced system costs for customers.

  • Yokogawa Spinning Disk

    There are two significant challenges in biological imaging that conventional fluorescence microscopy cannot overcome. Firstly, biological specimens are 3D structures and in order to fully understand them, we often need to construct 3D images.

  • Quantum Communication

    The Integrated Quantum Photonics lab of Dr. Tim Schröder at the Humboldt-University of Berlin is interested in understanding, controlling, and developing use cases for quantum research. In this particular project, Maarten van der Hoeven is characterizing and studying the behavior of color centers in diamond nanostructures.

  • High-Speed Calcium Imaging

    The Volynski lab, led by Kirill Volynski, Professor of Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), is primarily interested in understanding the regulation of neurotransmitter release which forms the basis of communication among neurons in the brain.

  • Live Cell Dynamics

    The group of Prof. Cornelia Monzel aims to understand the interplay of physical and biological mechanisms that give rise to relevant cellular functions for use in diagnostics and therapy.

  • Neural Optogenetics

    Dr. Cruikshank and colleagues are interested in information processing in the brain, focusing on circuits linking the brain’s neocortex and thalamus. These circuits are critical to sensation, perception and learning.

  • Neural Vascular Imaging

    The Attwell lab is interested in understanding the interactions that occur between neurons, glial cells and the vasculature of the brain through the use of electrophysiology and imaging techniques.

  • Dynamics of Complex Fluids

    The Bäumchen lab is researching the physics underlying interfaces of soft and biological matter. In particular, they want to understand how those interfaces can alter the dynamics of soft and living matter. To achieve this, a multitude of techniques including micro- and nanofluidics, lab-on-a-chip technologies and force spectroscopy methods are employed.

  • Neuroscience and Calcium Imaging

    Dr. Geoffrey Murphy, professor of physiology at the University of Michigan’s Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute studies the how the mammalian brain encodes, stores and retrieves information.

  • Optogenetics of Living Biofilms

    Bioprinting is an increasingly applied technique that facilitates the precise placement of biological substances – such as living cells, DNA, proteins, and growth factors – for the computer-aided fabrication of biologically active materials with a prescribed organization.

  • Liquid Beam Observation and Fluorescence

    Dr. Andreas Hans is the subgroup leader of the Spectroscopy and Physics with Synchrotron Radiation group within Experimental Physics. This group is performing studies on x-ray interactions with samples and the effects on a molecular level, using x-rays to irradiate biomolecules in a vacuum and detecting the resulting emission of photons, electrons, and other subatomic particles.

  • High Content Imaging

    Jonathan Rocheleau is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. His laboratory uses high content imaging to study pancreatic islet biology.
