Prototype for Ozcan’s lensless microscope

Aydogan Ozcan, whose invention of a novel lenseless imaging technology for use in telemedicine could radically transform global health care, has now taken his work a step further—or tinier. The UCLA engineer has created a miniature microscope, the world’s smallest and lightest for telemedicine applications.

The microscope, unveiled in a paper published online in the journal Lab on a Chip, builds on imaging technology known as LUCAS (lenseless ultrawide-field cell monitoring array platform based on shadow imaging), which was developed by Ozcan, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, and a researcher at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA.
