Smart Microscopy of Biological Tissues

Astronomical adaptive optics technology is used to dramatically enhance the spatial resolution of in-vivo two-photon microscopy of thick optical tissues.

HARPS Polarimeter

The HARPS instrument at La Silla, Chile is famous for its planet detections through the radial velocity method. We upgraded it to a precise spectropolarimeter by replacing the obsolete Iodine cell in the Cassegrain adapter with a dual-beam polarimetry unit.
