Technological Advancements

Optofluidic Microscopy (OFM)

Optofluidic microscopy (OFM) is a new compact and lensless microscopic imaging technique invented in the Biophotonics Laboratory, lead by Professor Changhuei Yang. The device utilizes microfluidic flow to deliver specimens across array(s) of micrometer-size apertures defined on a metal-coated CMOS sensor to generate direct projection images.
