Imaging Innovation

Guests: Dallin Durfee, PhD, Professor of Physics, Brigham Young University; Spencer Rogers, Technology Transfer Office, Brigham Young University  To get an accurate sense of something very small typically requires getting up close. The microscope’s lens needs to be practically right on the thing, if it’s really small. And that’s not always practical or safe. Imagine you’re a disease researcher and you suspect that there are some deadly parasite larvae, on a log across a field.  You want to inspect them, but you don't want to get too close. Turns out, lasers can do the work of microscopes.
