We use light and electron microscopy to study how the brain develops. Our goal is to develop tools to image synapse function and structure in living zebrafish embryos, and connect this to nanoscale maps made using correlative photon and electron techniques.

Tom Joosten started his MSc project on "Lumbar localization for hernia surgery using axial 2D ultrasound”. His supervisors are Frans Vos (TUD) en Theo van Walsum (EMC).

The microscope of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek won in the category design of the Dutch television programme "Pronkstuk van Nederland". In 1673 Antoni van Leeuwenhoek discovered a complete new world and made bacteria visible with his microscope.

Our PhD student Anna Ezerskaia was selected to receive a 2018 ASLMS Travel Grant. She will present at the 38th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery to be held in Dallas, Texas, April 11 - 15, 2018.

Elisabeth was awarded a small grant (Eur 30.000) in the ZonMW Enabling Technologies Hotels program. The project “Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy to Assess Synapse Development in Zebrafish Larvae” is in collaboration with the Koster group, LUMC, and Delmic.

BeCOMe (Beyond Classical Optical Metrology) is a three-year project which aims at developing the next generation of optics-based dimensional metrology systems.

The ImPhys team with Fellipe Peternella, Boling Ouyang, Roland Horsten and Jacob Caro, together with the Dutch company Technobis tft-fos, published an interrogation procedure of a ring-resonator ultrasound sensor in Optics Express.
