"New Wave Microscopy"

Genetically encoded gas vesicles provide an alternative to light for deep tissue cellular imaging. For this technology to be used to its fullest, the collaboration between chemical engineering and applied physics must continue so that biologists can visualize and track labeled cells on an organ scale.

I will discuss the development of an imaging paradigm based on supersonic X waves for the in vivo detection of gas vesicles. This scientific journey culminated in the introduction of nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy, a fast, high resolution and volumetric imaging method to scan opaque biological samples with thin ultrasound sheets.
