Abstract

Since the first description of a cell in Robert Hooke’s Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played a pivotal role in understanding the rules of life. With the ongoing revolution in imaging methods and microscopy technologies, scientists can now begin to visualize the inner workings of cells and biomolecules at unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. As we move forward to develop the next generation of optical microscopy methods, what are the technology frontiers to watch for in next generation optical methods? What is the role of data science, AI/ML on optical microscopy? What would be the role of single-molecule detection? Where would it make the most impact? How do we leverage this unique single photon source in the context of a cell? Finally, what can we do with this new found capacity of observation for human health? Please join us for a panel discussion with Professor William E. Moerner.
