Nanostructure imaging

Research area two: nanostructure imaging

Progress in understanding the cellular, molecular and network behavior by which the brain processes and stores information depends increasingly on advanced optical methods which make it possible to investigate information flow and storage in neural networks. Imaging of nanostructures in biological materials with higher speed and sensitivity is the aim of this project. Nanoscale imaging of nanostructures while employing nanodevices with tailored plasmon resonances, massively parallel subwavelength near-field optical probes, transformation designed optical elements, and ultra-fast scanning processes are the techniques trainees in this work area will embrace.
