Past summer schools > 2022 summer school
2022 Summer School Plenary talk by Prof. Na Ji from the University of California Berkeley Adaptive optics for high-resolution fluorescence microscopy The past quarter century has witnessed rapid developments of fluorescence microscopy techniques that enable structural and functional imaging of biological specimens at unprecedented depth and resolution. The performance of these methods in multicellular organisms, however, is degraded by sample-induced optical aberrations. Here I review recent work on utilizing adaptive optics to improve image quality of fluorescence microscopy for biological samples. 2022 Programme Download the programme here: 2022_programme
Live demos with Imagine Eyes, ALPAO, VOPTICA, Dynamic Optics and Phaseform Demos of instruments and components from Imagine Eyes, ALPAO, Voptica, Dynamic Optics and Phaseform will take place live. An original opportunity to meet these companies that are at the forefront of technology and to learn more about their activities!

Careers paths panel discussion We will be joined by a panel from a range of backgrounds in academia and industry and across a range of AO application areas. They will tell us about their experiences and you will have chance to ask them questions and hear their advice.

Live demo from the VLT During the school participants have the exciting opportunity to see a demonstration of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope at Cerro Paranal in Chile by Dr Johann Kolb. If conditions allow, this will be performed live. https://www.eso.org/public/unitedkingdom/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/
Johann Kolb's biography
Johann Kolb is the Adaptive Optics Paranal System Engineer, working on improving the efficiency and performance of the adaptive optics instruments on the VLT but also at La Silla Observatory and maybe one day for the ELT. He completed his PhD between ONERA (France) and ESO Garching (Germany) on “Calibration of ESO’s Multi-Conjugate AO Demonstrator MAD”, followed by 10 more years working on the calibration strategy and system tests of the AO Facility instruments GRAAL (SCAO, GLAO) and GALACSI (GLAO, LTAO). He moved to Chile in 2016 to commission the AO Facility, and then stayed as Adaptive Optics Paranal System Engineer, proposing obsolescence correction and improvements to the current 15 AO systems in operation, with 6 more to come in Paranal and one in La Silla. |
