The Research

Orthogonal Measurements

Ongoing
Definitions: Orthogonal measurements: Measurements that use different physical principles to measure the same property of the same sample with the goal of minimizing method-specific biases and interferences. Complementary measurements: Measurements that corroborate each other to support the same

Advanced Spectral Analysis: Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2DCOS)

Ongoing
When a series of spectra are acquired from a sample as a function of temperature, pressure, electric field strength, concentration, or any experimental parameters, conventional spectral analysis is performed by monitoring the intensity change at a specific frequency. However, such a single frequency

Measurement Assurance for Quantitative Cell Imaging by Optical Microscopy

Ongoing
Light microscopy is unparalleled as a quantitative technique for studying cell biology, but assuring that the results of measurements and analyses are accurate, repeatable and sharable is challenging. Here we provide information on reference materials, protocols and approaches for evaluating the
