500 MHz high resolution proximity sensors with fully integrated digital counter

Giovanni Boero, Nergiz Sahin Solmaz, Reza Farsi

We report on the design and characterization of two inductive proximity sensors based on LC oscillators operating at 500 MHz. The distance from the target is obtained by measuring the oscillation frequency variation. Both sensors contain an off-chip LC res ...

Burst Vision Using Single-Photon Cameras

Edoardo Charbon, Paul Mos, Mohit Gupta

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are novel image sensors that record the arrival of individual photons at extremely high temporal resolution. In the past, they were only available as single pixels or small-format arrays, for various active imaging ap ...

Microfluidic devices for automated analysis of ingested bacteria in the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine

Farzad Rezaeianaran

In this thesis, we explored on-chip high-resolution imaging of the fate of intestinal bacteria and bacterial products in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In the first part, we carried out high-resolution z-stack fluorescent imaging of Red Fluorescent P ...

A locally activatable sensor for robust quantification of organellar glutathione

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Sarah Emmert, Gianluca Quargnali

Glutathione (GSH) is the main determinant of intracellular redox potential and participates in multiple cellular signalling pathways. Achieving a detailed understanding of intracellular GSH homeostasis depends on the development of tools to map GSH compart ...

Multivalent Peptide Ligands To Probe the Chromocenter Microenvironment in Living Cells

Nora Guidotti, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz, Beat Fierz, Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Chromatin is spatially organized into functional states that are defined by both the presence of specific histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and a defined set of chromatin-associated “reader” proteins. Different models for the underlying mecha ...

In vitro and in vivo NIR fluorescence lifetime imaging with a time-gated SPAD camera

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Arin Can Ülkü

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) provides a unique contrast mechanism to monitor biological parameters and molecular events in vivo. Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras have been recently demonstrated in FLI microscopy (FLIM ...

Plasmon-induced near-infrared fluorescence enhancement of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Giulia Tagliabue, Amirmostafa Amirjani, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi, Shang-Jung Wu, Alessandra Antonucci, Theodoros Tsoulos

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence that is ideal for optical sensing. However, the low quantum yields diminish the sensor’s signal-to-noise ratio and limits the penetration depths for in vivo measurements. In this ...

High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications

Francesco Gramuglia

Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...
