Hi all,
This week's talk will be presented by Stuart Wilson, a PhD student from the imaging concepts group. Stuart will be talking about his research on exploiting computational imaging methods to extend the depth-of-field and field-of-view in GRIN based micro-endoscopes. Details below:
Title: Advanced and Computational Imaging Techniques in Microendoscopy
Time and Venue: 3pm, Thu 9th Aug, 257 Kelvin Building
Abstract: The developing field of microendoscopy has the potential to overcome many of the risks associated with current approaches in clinical tissue characterisation and histology. These miniature optical devices enable deep tissue imaging at penetration depths of tens of millimetres – a technique known as optical biopsy – and can reduce the need for invasive surgical procedures. However, the miniaturisation of optical elements provides its own set of unique challenges, effectively degrading imaging performance by imposing a characteristically short depth of field, narrow field of view and a high affinity to optical aberrations. Using computational imaging techniques, we have demonstrated an order of magnitude increase in the depth of field, as well as a wider field of view and reduction in the intrinsic aberrations, resulting in a more robust optical probe for tissue characterisation.
See you all there!
Cheers,
Pavi.
