  • Multifocal method and apparatus for stabilization of optical systems
    Patent number: 10429628
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for deep microscopic super resolution imaging use two independent and variable focal planes. Movements of fiducial markers imaged using one focal plane are monitored and used to provide real-time or near real-time correction for sample drift. A second focal plane may be used to collect light for super-resolution imaging of a sample. A prototype embodiment has produced low drift when imaging many microns deeper than the fiducial markers.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 1, 2019
    Assignee: The University of British Columbia
