High resolution deep tissue imaging of turbid media
TechnologyImaging through turbid media such as occluding body fluids (e.g. blood, urine, CSF) is restricted due to strong scattering. In applications such as intravascular optical imaging applications clearing of the imaging path (the lumen) are done by, e.g., locally stopping blood flow. The technology utilizes guided shaped light for minimally-invasive Angioscopy without the necessity to […] Read More >
Interferometric phase microscopy for label-free morphological evaluation of sperm cells
Portable, compact, add-on Interferometric Phase Microscope module An optical module and software package which optically compresses several interferometric images into a single camera image and thus provides extended interferometric the field of view (FOV). Records more interferometric information on the same amount of camera pixels. ApplicationsMedical industry In-vitro diagnostics -Measuring quantitative thickness profiles of biological […] Read More >
TechnologySeveral Cardiac-MRI (CMRI) sequences are influenced by diaphragm body motion throughout the respiratory and cardiac cycles. Stabilizing these videos might allow a better medical diagnosis by radiologists. Video-stabilization and ROI-tracking are well-known problems in computer-vision, with many practical applications. However these two problems become even more challenging for medical gray videos, in which separating ROI […] Read More >
Whole Brain Visualization of Distinct Cortical Layers by MRI
The TechnologyAn MRI platform including an imaging protocol and analysis software enabling in-vivo visualization, characterization and measurement of the distinct layers of the human cortex including width in 3D. The imaging protocol utilizes inversion recovery (IR-MRI) pulse sequencing. A set of inversion times, identified and correlated to the different cortical layers provides the sought distinction […] Read More >
An Add-On Optical Interferometer Chamber to Phase Microscopes for Sub-Nanometer 3D and Dynamic Information
TechnologyAn add-on optical module for microscopes allowing for single frame and dynamic capture of amplitude and phase profiles of transparent or semi-transparent biological and non-biological samples. This easyto-use interferometric device is simply positioned in the camera port of a conventional inverted microscope, enabling quantitative structural, thickness and refractive index measurements in a noncontact, label-free manner.
