Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Love, G. D., Saunter, C. D., & Girkin, J. M. (2011, July). Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization. Presented at Imaging and Applied Optics, Toronto, Canada

We report on results from a wide field microscope fitted with adaptive optics. We describe results based on both image optimization (wavefront sensorless adaptive optics) and full closed loop correction.

Real-time optical gating for three-dimensional beating heart imaging (2011)
Journal Article
Taylor, J., Saunter, C., Love, G., Girkin, J., Henderson, D., & Chaudhry, B. (2011). Real-time optical gating for three-dimensional beating heart imaging. Journal of Biomedical Optics, 16(11), https://doi.org/10.1117/1.3652892

We demonstrate real-time microscope image gating to an arbitrary position in the cycle of the beating heart of a zebrafish embryo. We show how this can be used for high-precision prospective gating of fluorescence image slices of the moving heart. We...

Multidepth, multiparticle tracking for active microrheology using a smart camera (2011)
Journal Article
Silburn, S. A., Saunter, C. D., Girkin, J. M., & Love, G. D. (2011). Multidepth, multiparticle tracking for active microrheology using a smart camera. Review of Scientific Instruments, 82(3), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3567801

The quantitative measurement of particle motion in optical tweezers is an important tool in the study of microrheology and can be used in a variety of scientific and industrial applications. Active microheology, in which the response of optically tra... Read More about Multidepth, multiparticle tracking for active microrheology using a smart camera.

Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & Love, G. (2011, January). Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy. Presented at Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing XVIII, San Francisco, CA

We report on recent developments in the use of adaptive optics (AO) in wide-field microscopy to remove both system and sample induced aberrations. We describe progress on using both a full AO system and image optimization techniques (wavefront sensor... Read More about Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy.

Heart synchronization for SPIM microscopy of living zebra fish (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, J., Saunter, C., Chaudhry, B., Henderson, D., Love, G., & Girkin, J. (2011, January). Heart synchronization for SPIM microscopy of living zebra fish. Presented at Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing XVIII, San Francisco, CA

We describe work on producing a selective plane illumination microscope for cardiac imaging in zebra fish embryos. The system has a novel synchronization system for imaging oscillating structures (e.g. the heart) and will have adaptive optics for ima...

Conjugate-plane photometry: reducing scintillation in ground-based photometry (2011)
Journal Article
Osborn, J., Wilson, R. W., Dhillon, V., Avila, R., & Love, G. D. (2011). Conjugate-plane photometry: reducing scintillation in ground-based photometry. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 411(2), 1223-1230. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17759.x

High-precision fast photometry from ground-based observatories is a challenge due to intensity fluctuations (scintillation) produced by the Earth's atmosphere. Here we describe a method to reduce the effects of scintillation by a combination of pupil... Read More about Conjugate-plane photometry: reducing scintillation in ground-based photometry.
