- Additional information
- The ability to image large biological samples with high resolution alone is not yet sufficient to make it commercially valuable. This work showed how an Airy beam light sheet microscope can be constructed compactly and with low-cost components. The associated techniques are patented worldwide (e.g. US10353188B2, JP6720136B2, WO2016016642A1) and commercialised by M Squared Lasers Ltd as their trademark Aurora Microscopy System: https://www.m2lasers.com/microscopy-aurora.html
Aurora reaches a global market. Key customers are at Max Planck Institutes in Germany, John Hopkins in the USA, and the NPL and MRC in London. Industry contact: Head of Biophotonics, M Squared Lasers Ltd.
