Speeding Up Biological Imaging Using the "Infinity Mirror"
The ability to spatiotemporally multiply (or multiplex) illumination and detection is a long-held goal in state-of-the-art optical microscopy. Scaling imaging speed could allow researchers to capture sub-millisecond or shorter dynamic biological processes and enhancing imaging throughput could make it possible to quickly interrogate millions of cells.

Webinar Summary
The ability to spatiotemporally multiply (or multiplex) illumination and detection is a long-held goal in state-of-the-art optical microscopy. Scaling imaging speed could allow researchers to capture sub-millisecond or shorter dynamic biological processes and enhancing imaging throughput could make it possible to quickly interrogate millions of cells.
Achieving these goals requires a technique that can maximize the scarce photon budget and minimize the risk of photodamage, so that we can image live, in vivo samples.
Our laboratory recently developed a new laser-scanning concept, FACED, that brings multiplexed imaging to a new level. This webinar will introduce the general concept of FACED and discuss its wide applicability in biomedical science.
By attending this webinar you will:
- Understand this new laser-scanning technique, including its advantages and limitations.
- Learn the current applications of FACED imaging in the following three areas:
- Imaging cytometry/single-cell analysis
- Multi-photon brain imaging
- Light-sheet imaging for developmental biology
