Tools for live-cell imaging in the millisecond regime using Electrically Tunable Lenses

这个跨学科项目利用计算和细胞生物学的方法来开发一种尖端的高速成像工具，用于光敏活细胞的长期成像。与BBSRC优先考虑的“生物科学技术开发”相匹配，学生将获得利用反褶积算法、显微镜控制工具和光敏细胞的技能。为了获得最大的科学和商业影响，开发的工具应在一系列光学显微镜上进行测试；IMSOL的投入对该提案的实施至关重要。合作伙伴在学生监督和研究开发方面都有丰富的经验，并且是一家成熟的英国中小企业。

This interdisciplinary project exploits both computational and cell biology approaches to develop a cutting-edge high-speed imaging tool for long-term imaging of light-sensitive live-cells. Fitting strongly with BBSRC priority for 'Technology development for the biosciences', the student will acquire skills to exploit deconvolution algorithms, microscope control tools and light-sensitive cells. For maximum scientific and commercial impact, the tool developed should be tested on a range of light microscopes; and the input from IMSOL is vital to delivery of this proposal. The partner has extensive experience in both student supervision and research and development, and is a well-established UK SME.
