报告题目： Imaging molecules and cells at high spatiotemporal resolution throughout whole living organisms 报告人： Dr. Kai Wang Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute 报告时间： 2015-5-25 10:30 报告地点：清华物理系理科楼三楼报告厅摘要： Much of our knowledge of the structural/functional relationships within cells comes from images of immortalized cells cultured on glass substrates. This obviously artificial setting is chosen because it is tractable for standard research-grade microscopes. Imaging at diffraction-limited resolution or even superresolution in the more relevant context of whole living organisms, where cell-cell interactions play crucial roles, is far more difficult, due to the heterogeneity of cell morphologies within tissues and the additional heterogeneity of sub-cellular domains within each cell. These cause the light rays that normally converge to a sharp focus to instead warp in unpredictable ways, producing an extended, aberrated excitation region that yields images of low resolution, reduced signal, and high background. To address this issue, I have developed an adaptive optical microscope to correct sample induced aberrations dynamically, providing high resolution images with large field of views at depth. After compensating the aberration, we demonstrated in vivo high resolution imaging over large volumes in the brains of zebrafish, fruit fly, and mouse. This technique can be further combined with our recently developed lattice light sheet microscope to enable high resolution, fast and minimal invasive imaging of molecules and cells in whole living organisms. 个人简介： Kai Wang is a post-doctoral research fellow at Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus. His research interests lie at the interface of electrical engineering, nanotechnology, optics and biomedical sciences. He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University in Beijing and pursued his PhD in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. His PhD work on biophotonics and nanophotonics has been published and featured on journals and magazines, such as Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Nanoletters and Optics & Photonics News. Kai later came to Eric Betzig’s Lab at Janelia to work on advanced bioimaging technologies. The adaptive optical microscope and lattice light sheet microscope he developed can significantly extend penetration depth, spatiotemporal resolution, and imaging duration for brain imaging and live cell imaging. These new imaging methods, which were published on Science and Nature Methods, have attracted many biologists worldwide and been transferred to more than 10 academic institutions.
