3D Super-resolution Microscopy

Our Lattice Light Sheet (LLS) Microscope is based on tech-transfer from the Betzig group at HHMI Janelia. Eric Betzig is the winner of 2014 Nobel Prize “for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy”. LLS is a combination of two selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) and Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) that results in super-resolution images that are 100-fold less phototoxic and 100-fold faster than a conventional commercially available microscope.

Below is an example of a C. elegans embryo imaged with our LLSM:

Another example is a collagen fiber mesh labeled with Alexa fluorescent dye:

When compared to other microscopy methods, LLSM offers a revolutionary combination of low photo-toxicity and low photo-bleaching, allowing for long-term live super-resolution microscopy in 3D:

More LLSM videos showing its capability can be found on the Betzig website.

PhD student Anne (Anh) Tong won $3,000 in an elevator pitch New Business Model Competition. Many entrepreneurs submit practical innovative ideas for review by a panel of judges at a chance to win a $3,000 summer fellowship to pay them to work on their idea. Program sponsor Capital One provides Innovation Acceleration Fellowships to winners ($3,000 each). The Fellowships allow winners to work on their business ideas, while they participate in the NJIT Martin Tuchman School of Management Summer Lean Start-up Accelerator. Anne and only three other students received the 3k award out of the 92 initial competitors. Learn more about the competition here:
