Funded Activity Summary

Quantitative polarisation phase microscopy: A new tool for advances in structural analysis and biophotonics. Innovation in biomedical research is driven by technology in optical imaging. Optical imaging methods including polarisation microscopy are widely accepted and are at the forefront of biomedical scientific discoveries. This project undertakes fundamental and applied research innovatively combining polarisation imaging and quantitative phase imaging microscopy to uniquely quantify the physical thickness and morphology of birefringent specimens such as the cardiac muscle cell. This project, while of substantial intellectual merit in its own right, could also have the potential to lead to the detection of the mechanisms related to heart failure.
