Advanced optical techniques for deep tissue microscopy
The Prevedel group develops new optical approaches and techniques to non-invasively image dynamic cellular processes in living tissue. To advance the frontiers of deep tissue microscopy we integrate concepts from diverse physical fields, such as wavefront engineering, photo-acoustics and computational imaging. At the same time, we engineer innovative optical and mechanical hardware solutions for our microscopes to adapt them to particular samples and imaging conditions. In order to interpret our recordings, we also develop custom software to automate the extraction of relevant parameters from our data.
