Tilt-autofocus: automated light sheet illuminator compatible with super resolution and single molecule imaging

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (CFDA 81.049 Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) provides $256,500.00 to Mizar Imaging LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to develop an automated light sheet illuminator system compatible with super-resolution and single-molecule imaging techniques. The award period runs from February 12, 2024 to November 11, 2024.

Through this project, Mizar Imaging LLC will create an advanced microscopy system to enhance the capabilities of super-resolution and single-molecule imaging. This builds upon the company's prior work on specialized microscopy technologies such as Light Disc Microscopy and Lateral Interference Tilted Excitation (LITE). The automated light sheet illuminator system developed under this grant is intended to further scientific research and technological innovation in areas of critical national interest to the Department of Energy.
