The Imaging Systems Laboratory is dedicated to the development of novel and unconventional imaging systems. This development takes place at two levels: hardware and software tools for processing raw data to extract the information of interest to the user. Our current emphasis is focused on imaging spectrometers. In addition, the Laboratory's efforts are directed at diffractive optics, confocal microscopy and microlithography.
The Computed-Tomography Imaging Spectrometer (CTIS) is a non-scanning, high-speed imaging instrument that was initially conceived to record rapidly occurring macroscopic events in the context of remote sensing. What distinguishes the CTIS from more conventional systems is the capability for real-time, full-field, non-scanning spectral and spatial imaging. The Computed-Tomography Imaging-Spectrometer Microscope system can provide the temporal, spectral, and spatial resolution needed to study dynamic physiological changes monitored simultaneously with several fluorescent reporter molecules and from multiple cells.
