Welcome to the SPIE+OPTICA Student Chapter Dresden
This is the webpage of the SPIE+OPTICA Student Chapter Dresden founded in 2016 as a SPIE Student Chapter and expanded in 2022 to be also an OPTICA Student Chapter.
Activities
... we were part of it.
On 14th of June we represented our student chapter to visitors, pupils and families and introduced optics and photonics. As a kind of landing-booth at tha faculties main building we perfectly catched the visitors interest introducing multiple easy to understand and children friendly experiments. The most interesting one showed optical spectroscopy for the analysis of light sources and fluid probes by using beatiful rainbow-like spectrogramms.

We thank all the visitors for their interest at our booth at the long night of science 2024.
On 22nd of May our chapter visited the optical components manufacturing company Thorlabs located in Bergkirchen, Germany. After a warm welcome in the city of Munich, we had the privilege to get an insight on the company. With that intro we discussed scientific device topics as well as their development, manufacturing and of course also the well-known packaging together with Lab-Snacks.
We thank the company Thorlabs for that well-organized and interesting day highlighted with some merchandise at the networking on the rooftop of Bergkirchen.
On 15th of April we had the pleasure of Prof. Charles Lin from the Harvard Medical School visiting our Student Chapter. His research focusses on minimally invasive optical technologies for in-vivo imaging and monitoring of cells and tissues. In our seminar, he presented his work on "In-flow cytometry: blood cell analysis without drawing blood".
