This project aims to develop ultrathin surfaces patterned on the nanoscale for extracting information from optical wavefields. These devices can be designed to provide real-time phase contrast imaging of transparent objects. This capability would open up the possibility of live-cell imaging with no expensive optical components and no, or minimal, computational post-processing. The planar configuration is designed to be compatible with next-generation lab-on-a-chip technologies and permit rapid throughput diagnostics with potential applications in biomedicine and materials science. Expected project outcomes may also underpin fundamental advances in understanding the interaction of light with nanostructures.

这个项目的目的是开发纳米尺度的可识别表面，用于从光波场中提取信息。这些设备可以被设计为提供透明物体的实时相衬成像。这种能力将开辟活细胞成像的可能性，没有昂贵的光学组件，没有或最小的计算后处理。平面配置的设计与下一代芯片实验室技术兼容，并允许快速的吞吐量诊断与生物医学和材料科学的潜在应用。预期的项目成果也可能支持在理解光与纳米结构的相互作用方面取得的根本性进展。
