Patents by Inventor Charles G. Ingersoll

Charles G. Ingersoll has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Cooling systems and methods for cryo super-resolution fluorescence light microscopy and other applications
    Patent number: 10678039
    Abstract: New systems and methods are described for maintaining a desired steady state temperature differential between two objects that may otherwise undergo heat transfer to restore thermal steady state. In one application, a cooling microscope assembly and its use with conventional optical microscopes are described for achieving super-resolution imaging. The assembly allows for the high resolution imaging of samples at cryogenic temperatures while maintaining the temperature of the objective lens above freezing by employing circulation systems and a coupling fluid between the sample and objective lens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2020
    Assignee: Brandeis University
    Inventors: Charles G. Ingersoll, David J. Derosier, Gina Turrigiano, Marc Nahmani
