WaveSuite goes full 64 bits: 3x processing speed, no-limit RAM & M2
WaveSuite 4.3 optical metrology and adaptive optics software completes the full transition to 64-bit compilation and overhauls previous limitations in RAM management and processing speed linked to 32-bit architecture legacy. This version of WaveSuite is a landmark for...
Adaptive optics enables high-resolution, dual-view light-sheet microscopy through a tilted coverglass
Correction of static aberrations involved in tilted objective geometries restores the performance and full versatility of open-top light-sheet configurations. Even if many optical geometries have been proposed in light-sheet microscopy, in particular regarding the...
REALM, aberration correction for PALM/STORM microscopy – webinar
The complexity of the aberration detection and correction process for PALM/STORM microscopy in biological samples has long been a limiting factor for widespread use of adaptive optics in biological imaging. The closed-loop...
EPFL choses MICAO 3DSR for best axial localization in microscopy
A MicAO 3DSR adaptive optics system has recently been installed in the laboratory of Pablo Rivera Fuentes at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Pablo chose the system because it provides the best axial localization precision due to astigmatic PSF induced...
Breakthrough in wavefront sensing for microscopy
GCaMP7 labelled neurons of the live, adult drosophila brain at 45µm depth, imaged with fast, closed-loop adaptive optics (AO) on a Light-Sheet microscope, using our new direct wavefront sensing for microscopy approach - not requiring any guide star. All this has been...
A brief history of Imagine Optic” #2: H-Line wavefront sensors
A brief history of Imagine Optic - Episode 2 Founded in December 1996 by the pair of Samuel Bucourt and Xavier Levecq, Imagine Optic is a pioneer in the manufacturing of optical metrology instruments and systems based on the Shack Hartmann wavefront measurement...
Z-range extension with complex PSF in 3D SMLM using Adaptive Optics
Photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) enable localization of fluorescent molecules with nanometric resolution. In these super resolution microscopy methods the positions of molecules are obtained by...
