Dr. Horstmeyer Gives Invited Talk at Univ. of Arizona

The U of A Optical Sciences Program hosts Dr. Horstmeyer

Welcome to two new PhD students - Haitao and Josh

We are excited to welcome two new PhD students to the Horstmeyer lab, Haitao and Josh!

5+ presentations at Photonics West 2024!

It was great to have most of the lab attend Photonics West this year with a number of interesting presentations! Please check out our Youtube video page to see videos of some of the talks.    

Photonics + AI Intiative

Here is an article about a new Photonics + AI initiative that we're working towards here at Duke. I am excited to be helping to push this effort forward!

Lucas's digital staining review paper is now out!

Please check out the following nice new paper that was spearheaded by Dr. Lucas Kreiss: L. Kreiss et al., "Digital staining in optical microscopy using deep learning - a review," Photonix 4 (2023)

Excited to win a Duke Launch grant!

In collaboration with Dr. Sheila Patek, the COL has been awarded funding to pursue extreme high-speed (million frames/sec) 3D imaging - should be fun! 

Open source whole-head models!

Great job to our PhD student Melissa Wu with her latest publication that details 18 unique anatomically correct 3D human head models that she put together. We hope that these will be really helpful for the optical neuroimaging community! M. Wu et al, "...

Congrats to Shiqi on a successful defense!

The Computational Optics Lab has its first official PhD student - Dr. Shiqi Xu! He gave a fantastic PhD defense and we wish him all the best at his new and exciting position with Zeiss.  

MCAM is a Research Highlight in Nature Methods

We are honored that our new technology is a Nature Methods Highlight - please check out the nice article here! 

Third MCAM paper published in Optica!

Please check out our new paper here that summarizes our high-speed micro-camera arrays, which capture synchronized high-resolution image data across 54 individual cameras at data rates exceeding 40 gigabits per second: M. Harfouche et al., "Imaging...

Second MCAM paper published in Nature Photonics!

Our second paper detailing the MCAM's use for 3D imaging over large-areas and at high-speed is now published in Nature Photonics (with pre-print available to all here) - congrats to the whole team! Please also see lots of other cool videos and details at...

First micro-camera array microscope paper now published in eLife!

After many years of hard work, our first paper about our micro-camera array microscope technology for gigapixel-scale video acquisition is now out in eLife. Thanks to all involved - lots more great stuff to come! Please check out our first paper on this...

Introduction to Fourier Ptychography Review Series makes the cover!

Our 3-part review of Fourier ptychography is now out in the latest issues of Microscopy Today: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 We also made the cover!

Dr. Horstmeyer awarded NSF CAREER award

We are very excited to have this great support to develop our new computational microscopes! 

Two new papers on deep-tissue blood flow imaging by Shiqi and team

Congratulations to Shiqi and the rest of the team, who just published two papers on a new way to capture images and video of blood flow dynamics deep within tissue. The technique, termed parallelized diffuse correlation spectroscopy, shines laser light...
