Project Tittle: Super-resolution imaging in scattering media based on fluorescence intensity correlations
Principal Investigator: Dr. Radek Łapkiewicz
Project duration: 01.09.2024 – 31.08.2028
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to see clearly through fog, skin, or even a piece of paper? These materials scatter light in complex ways, making it extremely difficult to image what lies beyond. This challenge is especially significant in fields like biomedical imaging, where researchers need to see deep into tissues with high precision.
Our project aims to overcome this problem by developing advanced imaging techniques that can “see through” scattering materials at a resolution beyond what traditional microscopes can achieve. By combining innovative tools like fluorescence intensity correlations, quantum optics, and wavefront shaping with the latest detector technology, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in optical imaging.
We’re building next-generation microscopes capable of capturing super-resolved images even in challenging conditions—like looking through biological tissues or dynamic, light-scattering environments. These breakthroughs could lead to major advances in areas such as non-invasive brain imaging and high-resolution studies of thick tissue samples.
Our interdisciplinary team collaborates with world-leading experts in optics, quantum physics, and bioimaging, and we’re looking for curious minds to join us. If you’re a researcher interested in cutting-edge optics and imaging, apply now for our open postdoctoral position!
