We've made tomographic 3d printing simpler to use by moving complexity from hardware to software. (1/3) Check out our paper here:

⚙️⚙️ Today @NatureComms, @tonyorth et al (@NRC_CNRC) demonstrate impressive resolution in volumetric #additivemanufacturing via a model to predict #print time variation with feature size and a deconvolution method to correct for it. #3Dprinting Link: https://t.co/PYD1IF3oX5

2/2: New code and user interface from @UWaterloo co-op student @Kayley_Ting means complex objects like this bunny can now be printed without hours of programming and set up. Check out the team’s publication in @OSAPublishing Optics Express. https://t.co/dqUNFu7LRo

1/2: Now you see it, now you don’t! #Tomographic #3DPrinting no longer requires a goopy index matching bath, thanks to new equations from researchers at #NRCDigitalTech and #NRCNanomaterials. https://t.co/TbOtptR8AU

Tomographic 3D printing is super fast. Prints generally take less than 3 minutes. The experience is more like printing a paper document than with traditional 3D printing, which usually takes hours or more. Watch your print appear before your eyes!

We pre-distort the projected light patterns so that they are exactly cancelled out by the refraction of the vial. No more messy index matching bath - just place the vial in front of the projector and go! (3/3)

In tomographic 3D printing, patterned light cures resin inside a rotating vial. The vial refracts light like a lens, so it has to be suspended in a liquid bath to avoid distorting the patterns. This is tricky to build and hard to use. We show you can do without the bath. (2/3)

and here's a taste of what we're working on in our group! https://t.co/rPPmDPgWek

Cool science happening on our mobile phone microscope 3D printed by @Engineeringkate designed by @tonyorth @brantgibson, assembled by my team and snapped by my student @melorina1st on her iPhone 🔬for #ScienceWeek #scienceintheswamp #ssf19

We hope super-resolution is a step closer to become an everyday lab-tool 😊 Thanks for the multidisciplinary effort, team! @MPloschner; @Minaksh25564947; @DoctaBlonde; Xianlin; Lu; @tonyorth; @profsugar; Jim; @CNBPscience; @MQPhysAstro; @MQMolSci; @ResearchRMIT; @NatureComms;

An advanced new method has been developed by #CNBP researchers that may open the door to 3D #microscopy in hard-to-reach areas of the human body. Read more here: https://t.co/4ML5dT3OHe @tonyorth @brantgibson @ResearchRMIT

Exciting new #CNBP research takes a current long-standing weakness of #fluorescence #microscopy – photobleaching – and turns it into a strength that improves imaging output by up to 3x! @tonyorth @ResearchRMIT @RMIT https://t.co/lhCR0QNwbQ

Three new studies using expansion microscopy to examine microenvironments of high transcription factor concentration, the multiplexing capability of fluorescent imaging, and kinetochores in cell division. https://t.co/VWs8L9GhsX https://t.co/jM5yQQeO48

Recover blurry #fiber bundle images using a virtual #aperture. It turns out there's a lot more information in fiber bundle #endoscope images (eg. @cellvizio by @maunakeatech ) than it may seem... https://t.co/BGEaOjuIi4

"For an acceptable contrast in darkfield mode, it is necessary for the microscope clip itself to be opaque. As a result, we print the microscope clip in Black Resin." 🔬📱
