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

这个跨学科的项目利用计算和细胞生物学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的“生物科学技术开发”优先级非常吻合，学生将获得利用解卷积算法，显微镜控制工具和光敏细胞的技能。为了最大限度地发挥科学和商业影响，应在一系列光学显微镜上测试所开发的工具; IMSOL的投入对于提交这一提案至关重要。合作伙伴在学生管理和研发方面拥有丰富的经验，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.
