S10503-N20: Inhomogeneities and Attenuation in PAI
Project S10503-N20 is based on a recently developed fiber based Fabry-Perot interferometer PAI setup. Various issues for high resolution imaging using this setup are addressed: Spatially varying sound velocities and partial compensation of frequency dependent attenuation are taken into account and the use of polymer fibers instead of glass fibers is studied.[Read more]

S10509-N20: Photoacoustic tomography based analyses of pancreas regeneration in adult zebrafish
Project S10509-N20 applies setups and technologies provided by the partners within the research network to investigate the regeneration of
β-cells in the pancreas of adult zebrafish. The long term aim is to understand the regeneration process, which
is unique in zebrafish, and eventually this knowledge could contribute to the development of type I diabetes treatment.

S10510-N20: PAI and OCT
Projekt S10510-N20 combines PAI and optical coherence tomography (OCT) into a fast multi-modal imaging system, providing depth resolved tissue microstructure and functional information. OCT is based on white light interferometry and delivers non-invase morphological and structural information with high speed in the order of 100 MHz and a resolution in the μm-range..
