Welcome to the SPIE+OPTICA Student Chapter Dresden

We are pleased to announce Dr. An Pan will give a talk in our student chapter on 15th April 9:30am. The talk will cover "Fourier ptychographic microscopy and its applications in pathology and remote imaging".
Dr. An Pan is an associate professor and a principal investigator at Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China, and the head of Pioneering Interdiscipline Center (PIC), State Key Laboratory of Transient Optics and Photonics.

For attendance, please contact us.

See you then!

We will be visiting laser manufacturer COHERENT at it's facilities in Lübeck and further get insights to the department of optical coherence tomography from lab supplier THORLABS-OCT. Both are located closeby in the beautiful city of Lübeck.
If you want to join, feel free to contact us.

New year, events,
In our first kick-off event this year we got together and talked about the next scheduled events and discussed further ideas. Besides two company excursions and several guest speakers, we brainstormed on a possible workshop event.
Stay tuned.

... 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".
