  • Use of a reference source with adaptive optics in biological microscopy
    Patent number: 8551730
    Abstract: Methods of microscopic imaging of biological tissue using adaptive optics technology to improve the image focus and sharpness. Wavefront measurements are taken by using a novel method of seeding biological tissue by using a fluorescent microsphere as a “guide star” as a natural point-source reference. The current methods are capable of improving the Strehl ratio of modern biological microscopes as much as 15 times.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 8, 2013
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Oscar Azucena, Joel Kubby, Jian Cao, William Sullivan
