Es and the mk2 mesoscope, minus the central optics.

Gonz, Es and the bones of the mk2 Mesolens. The optics are almost complete. It’s all becoming real now…

We’ve now moved some equipment into the Mesolab. This includes the prototype Mesolab, a Coherent Chameleon Ultra II & Compact OPOVis, a Cairn Laserbank and some other nifty kit, with more on order…

After a few months of building work, the Mesolab is now constructed. We have four working laboratory spaces: one for preparation of biological specimens, one for optical development, and two labs that will each house a Mesolens system.
Mr Matthew Gow joins the CfB as a new post-graduate research student. Matthew will be working with Gail, Owain, Johanna and John Dempster to explore the use of the Mesolens technology in contributing to understanding of Leishmaniasis.
Dr Johanna Tragardh has joined the Centre for Biophotonics as a Research Fellow to work on the the Mesolab project. With a PhD in Engineering from the University of Lund and research interests in optical characterisation of materials and light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, we are delighted that Johanna is now part of ‘Team Meso’. Welcome!
There’s been a murder…
This is the ‘before’ shot. The ‘after’ photograph should be available in Summer 2013.
Some details of the project (and some pre-history) now online:
