Out today! A versatile glycan binding dye (Rhobo6) for labeling the extracellular matrix in living tissues and organisms from the Pedram lab. https://t.co/0GCgOdZpGO
Today, our faculty, post-docs, staff, and grad students are taking part in our second annual department retreat, being held at the UMD Golf Course. First up, we have grad student presentations! Tony Fiore (@tonfior) is discussing his work in Dr. Scarcelli‘s #Optics#Biotech lab.
New #UMD microscopy technique could improve LASIK surgery by paving the way for direct determination of visual acuity based on measurements of refraction of light in the eyes. https://t.co/824d4NmoVK
On top of that, the paper is featured in a Physics Viewpoint on @APSPhysicsEd
Thanks to Kareem Elsayad (@VBCF_Tweets) for his very insightful piece

#Bioengineering Assistant Professor Giuliano Scarcelli (@scarc1) & members of his #Optics#Biotech lab have developed a microscopy technique that could one day be used to improve LASIK and eliminate the “surgery” aspect of the procedure: https://t.co/f5XG87C97V
A new method of mapping a material’s index of refraction in 3D ropes in lattice vibrations (sound waves). A Viewpoint by Kareem Elsayad explains the technique and discusses possible uses. @UMDBIOE https://t.co/BzFsPChYD3
Using dual photon-phonon scattering, the refractive index of a material can be determined in an absolute manner with 3D spatial resolution, accessing the sample from a single side and without regard to the size, symmetry, or shape

Congrats to #bioengineering Ph.D. student Tony Fiore (@tonfior) & Asst. Prof. Giuliano Scarcelli (@scarc1) on their latest article in The @OpticalSociety's Biomedical #Optics Express, "Single etalon design for two-stage cross-axis VIPA spectroscopy." https://t.co/qdvX37O9RV
Dr. Shimomura, who received 2008 Nobel prize in Chemistry for the discovery of GFP, has sadly passed away. His discovery will illuminate our science forever.
