The University of Arizona received a $1,835,222 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), awarded May 11, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2030. The award funds the development of an ultra-broadband microscope utilizing an innovative obscuration-free, off-axis freeform reflective optical architecture designed to achieve diffraction-limited performance across the ultraviolet to infrared spectral range while eliminating chromatic aberrations and optical dispersion limitations inherent in conventional refractive and reflective microscope designs. The project deliverables encompass three primary objectives: (1) design and optimization of a compact, high-performance off-axis reflective microscope with diffraction-limited imaging capabilities across a wide spectral range; (2) prototype fabrication and assembly utilizing advanced diamond-turning techniques to ensure superior optical quality and system integration; and (3) rigorous experimental validation testing across ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectra with performance benchmarking against state-of-the-art commercial microscope systems. This technology development initiative is expected to enhance biomedical research capabilities by providing superior contrast and optical efficiency, enabling high-resolution multimodal imaging beyond the performance constraints of existing microscope technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
