The Optical Society of America (OSA) has highlighted our recent publication on Three-photon light-sheet fluorescence microscopy in a news article.

This work, published in Optics Letters, promises enable delivery of light much deeper and further into tissues, enabling high quality imaging throughout large, thick specimens, and could have implications for neuoroscience and high-throughput drug screening.

We are hiring!

The Optical Manipulation Group is seeking a one-year Research Fellow in experimental photonics dedicated to Raman microscopy for applications in biomedicine and also for the oil and gas industry. You should have research experience in optical microscopy, supported by a good publication record. Experimental expertise in Raman analysis combined with appropriate knowledge of numerical data analysis is desirable.

The details of the applications can be found here.

Closing date: 28th August 2018

Congratulations go out to all our new graduates, especially to Laura O’Donnell BSc who was awarded the prize for the best BSc physics final year project.

Laura’s project in the Optical Manipulation Group was supervised by Prof. Kishan Dholakia and Dr Graham Bruce (pictured).

Her project was focused on “Multiple wavelength measurements with a speckle-based wavemeter” and builds on our previous work on sub-femtometre resolved speckle-based wavemeters.
