Novel Microscopy Method Utilizes a Cannula and an LED Light to Make 3-D Images

A University of Utah team discovered a method for turning a small, $40 needle into a 3-D microscope capable of taking images up to 70 times smaller than the width of a human hair. This new method not only produces high-quality images comparable to expensive microscopes, but may be implanted into the brains of living mice for imaging at the cellular level.

Novel Method to Manipulate Brewster Angle in Photonic Crystal System

When light shines through air onto water, some of the light usually will be reflected back into the air. But at one specific angle, called the Brewster angle, all of the p-polarized light travels into the water with no reflection. MIT graduate student Yichen Shen found a way to manipulate that Brewster angle in a specially designed photonic crystal mirror, achieving control over the light by controlling its angle of travel into a material.
