We introduce a lensless high-throughput fluorescent detection modality that can simultaneously image micro-objects and labeled cells over an ultra-wide field-of-view (FOV) of ∼8cm2 without the use of any lenses, thin-film filters and mechanical scanners. This lensfree platform utilizes total-internal-reflection (TIR) to block the excitation light, and an inexpensive absorption filter to remove the weakly scattered light that does not obey TIR. The emitted fluorescent light from the objects is then detected on the same chip without the use of any lenses. A digital deconvolution algorithm is used to resolve overlapping fluorescent spots, enabling a resolution of ∼40–50 μm over the entire field-of-view. Such an ultra wide field-of-view lensfree fluorescent imaging modality might be very valuable for high-throughput screening applications as well as quantification of rare cells such as circulating tumor cells using ultra-large microfluidic devices.

We demonstrate a two-photon imaging system with corrected optics including a custom objective that provides cellular resolution across a 3.5 mm field of view (9.6 mm^2). Temporally multiplexed excitation pathways can be independently repositioned in XY and Z to simultaneously image regions within the expanded field of view. We used this new imaging system to measure activity correlations between neurons in different cortical areas in awake mice.

It has been recognized since the earliest days of crystal growth that kinetic processes of all Kinds control the nature of the growth. As the technology of crystal growth has become ever more refined, with the advent of such atomistic processes as molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, sputter deposition, and plasma enhanced techniques for the creation of “crystals” as little as one or a few atomic layers thick, multilayer structures, and novel materials combinations, the need to understand the mechanisms controlling the growth process is becoming more critical. Unfortunately, available techniques have not lent themselves well to obtaining a truly microscopic picture of such processes. Because of its atomic resolution on the one hand, and the achievable wide field of view on the other (of the order of micrometers) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) gives us this opportunity. In this talk, we briefly review the types of growth kinetics measurements that can be made using STM. The use of STM for studies of kinetics is one of the more recent applications of what is itself still a very young field.
