Adaptive optics, known from atronomical telescopes, is also very useful in light microscopy. Sharing the same task - realtime correction of a constantly changing refractive index - adaptive optics increase the resolution of biological images.In this project, a technique to use the adaptive optics in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) will be developed. This will lead to more accurate binding studies inside biological cells.        

This project is funded by the European Fund for Regional Development
