Improved Biomedical Imaging (Image 2)
Chemistry professor Marcos Dantus is shown in his lab at Michigan State University.
Dantus and colleagues developed rapid, ultra-short pulse lasers and the technology to measure and correct the dispersion in an optical path. Their research is yielding increased signal and reduced, laser-induced damage in biomedical imaging. This work is part of a multidisciplinary Major Research Instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) (grants CHE 04-21047 and CHE 05-00661).
Dantus founded BioPhotonics Solutions in 2003, which sells technology that measures, shapes and compresses laser pulses to laser manufacturers. The company has received Small Business Technology Transfer (SBTT) and other NSF grants. (Date of Image: 2007) [Image 2 of 2 related images. Back to Image 1.]
