Lensless digital holographic microscopy opens up completely new possibilities for imaging live cells. The main challenge of the project is to overcome low spatial (~1 micron) and axial (~ 3 microns) resolution in lensless holographic microscopy using ultraviolet radiation. Project starts in January 2024 and we are very excited for what future brings us with ERC possibilities!
More information about the Grant available on ERC website, WUT website and on YouTube (English subtitles available).
