Team 9 – Advanced Image Sensor Modules for Wearable Miniature Microscope

This project is sponsored by:

The Salk Institute has been working on imaging of the CNS (central nervous system) of mice, developing miniature wearable microscopes and imaging modules to capture the synapsis inside the spinal cord in response to a stimulus. Thanks to advancements in the microscope optics, they have been able to develop a new generation of miniature microscopes able to capture color with increased field of view. The team is tasked with designing, manufacturing, and testing an image module that utilizes an image sensor selected by a previous Capstone team to match the capabilities of their new development.
