Microelectromechanical handheld laser-scanning confocal microscope: Application to breast cancer imaging
Abstract
This has been a fabulous experience.Indeed, studying at the University of Texas has afforded me such grand luxuries as sitting atop a Helimak contemplating the mysteries of plasma physics, working in state-of-the-art cleanrooms with absolute mastery over the nanoscale, and applying my devices to important clinical problems at the very best medical institutions.Along the way, I have had the good fortune to befriend great minds, caring mentors, able colleagues, and true friends who taught me what I could not have learnt alone.And did I mention that I met the love of my life in the middle of all this?I shall forever be indebted to Texas.Hook 'em.Of the many who have contributed to my professional development during my time here, I am able to explicitly thank but a few.Prof. John Zhang has been a sage advisor, and has led by example with his work ethic, determination, and commitment to excellence in research.Professors Grady Rylander and Tom Milner took a chance on me and gave me the first opportunities to work in biomedical optics, for which I remain grateful.They have been a constant source of encouragement and guidance ever since I entered graduate school.Prof. Michael Becker, through his irrepressible enthusiasm for teaching Fourier Optics, inspired me to think creatively.The experiments on "objectiveless microscopy" detailed in Chapter 5 bear his mark.Prof. Dean Neikirk reminded me to never lose sight of the big picture, candidly assessed my work, and helped me achieve…
