We have had back-to-back articles accepted for publication in ACS Photonics. Whether you're more interested in nanoparticle trapping (doi.org/10.1021/acspho…) or metabolic imaging of embryos (doi.org/10.1021/acspho…), both are available to read now.

Our group is presenting at the Optics Australia & New Zealand ANZCOP-AIP conference in Canberra. Come along to their sessions this Wed-Fri to find out more about their exciting research! 🤩 Follow for daily updates on the upcoming talks. Optical Manipulation Group, St Andrews Australian Institute of Physics #AIPSummer23

Kishan giving an insightful talk at #ANZCOP23 on using speckle metrology to produce high precision measurements, and identifying the optimal scatterer for different measurement quantities. Excited for more groundbreaking science ahead! 😁 Optics Australia & New Zealand Australian Institute of Physics Optical Manipulation Group, St Andrews

Fantastic presentation by Chris Perrella (Chris Perrella) on using speckle to make precise measurements with applications in areas such as spectroscopy and optical sensing 🔬 #ANZCOP23 #AIPSummer23 Optics Australia & New Zealand Australian Institute of Physics Optical Manipulation Group, St Andrews

Kishan Dholakia giving a fascinating talk on "Rotational Levitated Optomechanics with Structured Light" at the #ANZCOP23 Focus Session on #Structuredlight 💡 Optics Australia & New Zealand Australian Institute of Physics #AIPSummer23

Captivating seminar by Kelly Walton on the fascinating roles of ovarian growth factors inhibin and activin in ovarian physiology and potentially metabolism (fat accumulation). Learned so much about reproductive endocrinology 😊

A 💡 talk by Prof. Kishan Dholakia Centre of Light for Life for the annual International Day of Light International Day of Light 16 May hosted by UofAdelaide Student Optica Chapter 🤩 Uni of Adelaide #LightforEnergy #LifeforMeasurement #LightforLife

🔔 Bing bong! Hot off the press! Read about how light sheet microscopy is an ideal approach for metabolic imaging of preimplantation mouse embryos. Is it fast? Safe? Better than confocal microscopy? Read more about it here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Centre of Light for Life Uni of Adelaide

🔬🌟 excited to share our new study on 3D imaging of live embryos! Compared to confocal, light sheet microscopy: ✨is 10x faster ✨Less DNA damage ✨Lower photobleaching rate ✨Faster, safer assessment of embryo quality rdcu.be/dTBxl

Fantastic outcome at the Robinson Research Institute Symposium 2024 with Darren (Darren Chow) and Carl (Carl Campugan) clinching the prizes for Rapid Fire talks! 🏆 #RRISym
