Teledyne Princeton Instruments recognises our work in the application notes on near-infrared spinning-disk confocal microscopy

Imaging in the second near-infrared optical region (NIR-II) between 900 and 1700 nm is of special interest as it is able to penetrate deeper into soft tissue with reduced scattering and less autofluorescence. Many NIR-II fluorescence probes are developed during the last decade to take advantage of high penetration depth bio-imaging. However, the need for high-resolution full-speed imaging setups remained in demand.

I am proud to be a project leader at the research group of Prof. Ardemis A. Boghossian at école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where we have developed the the world's first spinning-disc confocal light microscope in the NIR-II optical window. 

We have compared optical resolution of the first spinning-disc confocal light microscope with a wide-field NIR-II microscope, allowing for fast, real-time image acquisition. Through the use of a cooled InGaAs FPA camera coupled to a NIR-II optimised spinning-disc module (SDCLM-InGaAs), we demonstrated the benefits of the device in various application.
