Michael Shribak (University of Chicago, Marine Biological Labpratory) is a guest of Rainer Heintzmann and will speak on the topic: "Quantitative Label-free Microscopy Using Polarization Of Light". The talk will describe development of quantitative differential interference contrast and polychromatic polarization microscopes.

 

Date: Thursday, December 14, 2023

Time: 2 pm – 3 pm

Location: HG 225

 

Research of the Shribak lab is focused on development of advanced light microscopy and computation imaging techniques, which should serve as advanced tools for biological discoveries and would answer to the live image challenges. As member of a small team, which was lead by Dr. Inoué and Dr. Shimomura, Michael Shribak contributed to discovery of the polarization fluorescence of GFP crystals (PNAS, 99(7), 4272-4277 (2002)). Together with Dr. Oldenbourg, he developed a scanned-aperture PolScope, which generated a map of birefringence in the 3-dimensional orientation - a world-first (US Patent 6924893). Michael Shribak proposed new computation algorithms, which are currently used in LC-PolScope (US patents 7372567, 7239388, 7202950). He also elaborated on a theory of polarization aberration in light microscopes and polarization rectifiers (Opt. Eng., 41(5), 943-954 (2002)).
