Super-resolution, low cost optical bio-nanoscope for direct virus imaging
1 Jun 2021 to 30 Nov 2022
Coronaviruses are threatening the lives of human being worldwide. Understanding of coronaviruse interactions with cells and drugs is essential for the development of treatments and prevention of future pandemics. LIG Nanowise Ltd will develop a new super-resolution, low cost optical microscope at 50 nm direct optical resolution that can see live viruses i...
Scanning Particle Lens Array Laser Micro/Nano-patterning System
1 Sep 2016 to 31 Aug 2017
Nature has successfully demonstrated the use of surface textures to enhance functionality. The production and replication of these complex textures on man-made materials have been difficult when using conventional mechanical tooling, focused ion beams, electron beams, chemical etching and lithographic methods. Laser surface texturing has the flexibility (...
Super-Resolution Optical Microscopes
1 Nov 2015 to 30 Apr 2017
Optical microscopy is an important imaging technique that is used throughout scientific research. However due to the optical diffraction limit, within the visible light spectrum, existing optical microscopes are restricted to a theoretical resolution of 200nm. This limitation therefore prevents standard microscopy from being utilised in further applicatio...

Super-Resolution Optical Microscopes
1 Aug 2014 to 30 Nov 2014
Optical microscopy is an important imaging technique that is used throughout scientific research. However due to the far-field diffraction limit, within the visible light spectrum, existing optical microscopes are restricted to the theoretical resolution of 200 nm. This limitation therefore prevents this microscopy from being utilised in further applicati...
