Project summary Currently available optical components limit biomedical imaging. In particular, in neurobiology, standard microscope components limit the field-of-view and speed of imaging of neuronal activity. Through prior work on BRAIN Initiative project, we have developed approaches for new optical components that expand the field-of-view 5 to 50 times over standard microscopes, with no loss in resolution, while retaining high imaging speed. In this project, we will develop three new products to further impact this field, enabling better imaging systems, higher quality data, and new experiments. The three products are: (Aim 1) a new long working distance air objective with high resolution, (Aim 2) a high performance scan lens for large field-of-view imaging, and (Aim 3) an angle-doubling module for large field-of-view imaging with no loss in scan speed. The company will perform the design studies and development. The company will partner with the university lab to validate and evaluate the products in state-of-the-art experiments. The results from this project will result in innovative new optical components that will expand the field-of-view and throughput of imaging systems in neurobiology labs.

项目摘要 当前可用的光学成分限制了生物医学成像。特别是在神经生物学中，标准显微镜 组件限制了神经元活性成像的视野和速度。通过先前的大脑工作 主动项目，我们开发了新的光学组件的方法 超过标准显微镜的时间，没有分辨率损失，同时保持高成像速度。在这个项目中， 我们将开发三种新产品，以进一步影响该领域，从而实现更好的成像系统，更高的质量 数据和新实验。这三个产品是：（目标1）一个新的长距离空气目标 分辨率，（AIM 2）用于大型视野成像的高性能扫描镜头和（AIM 3）角度倍增 用于大型视野成像的模块，扫描速度没有损失。该公司将进行设计研究 和发展。该公司将与大学实验室合作，以验证和评估产品 最新的实验。该项目的结果将导致创新的新光学组件 将扩展神经生物学实验室中成像系统的视野和吞吐量。
