We propose to develop an integrated photonic platform based on holographic metasurfaces (HIPPO) for the high-throughputimaging of biological specimens in microfluidic environments. The integrated platform combines high spatial resolution and largefield of view acquisition with the throughput requirements of modern screening techniques. Current solutions rely upon complexillumination systems and bulky imaging setups to increase the spatial spectrum range and reduce the background fluorescence.The goal of this project is to move the complexity to a portable optofluidic chip and pave the way for high-throughput assays in everybiology lab, turning high-throughput and high-resolution microscopy into an instrument for biologists, rather than for biophysicists.

我们建议开发一个基于全息超表面（HIPPO）的集成光子平台，用于微流体环境中生物样本的高通量成像。该集成平台将高空间分辨率和大视场采集与现代筛选技术的吞吐量要求相结合。当前的解决方案依赖于复杂的照明系统和庞大的成像装置来增加空间光谱范围并减少背景荧光。该项目的目标是将复杂性转移到便携式光流控芯片上，并为每个生物学实验室的高通量测定铺平道路，将高通量和高分辨率显微镜变成生物学家而不是生物物理学家的工具。
