🎥 𝐖𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐭 – für lebensrettende Technologien im Kampf gegen Sepsis 🌍🏥✨ Zum heutigen #WeltSepsisTag stellen wir euch Dr. Izabella Jahn vor. Izabella und ihr interdisziplinäres Team entwickeln ein mobiles Spektrometer für die schnelle Infektionsdiagnose mit Laserlicht. Diese Technologie kann Infektionen mitsamt dem passenden Antibiotikum in nur drei Stunden diagnostizieren – ein Zeitgewinn, der Leben retten kann, denn bei einer #Sepsis zählt jede Minute. Wir möchten unseren Forschenden und unseren vielen nationalen und internationalen Partner:innen, ganz besonders am Center for Sepsis Control & Care (CSCC) am Universitätsklinikum Jena, unseren Dank und unsere Anerkennung für ihren großartigen Einsatz im Kampf gegen Infektionskrankheiten aussprechen. 👏 // 🎥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 – for life-saving technologies in the fight against sepsis 🌍🏥✨ On today's #WorldSepsisDay, we’d like to introduce Dr. Izabella Jahn. Izabella and her interdisciplinary team are developing a mobile spectrometer for rapid infection diagnosis using laser light. This technology can identify infections and determine the appropriate antibiotic in just three hours – a true time advantage that can save lives, as every minute counts when it comes to #sepsis. We also want to thank our researchers and our many national and international partners, especially the CSCC at Universitätsklinikum Jena, for their commitment to fighting infectious diseases. 👏 #SepsisAwareness #DeutschlandErkenntSepsis #StopSepsis Weltoffenes Thüringen Leibniz-Gemeinschaft

Last week, we highlighted Varsha's professional journey at our institute. As promised, it's now time to delve into her experiment. 🔬🍃 As a student research assistant at Leibniz IPHT, Varsha worked on enhancing a holographic endoscope to capture both macroscopic and microscopic details within a single optical setup. This allows the instrument to function both as a standard endoscope with an unlimited working distance and as a high-resolution microscope. 🎥 In the video, Varsha uses a bay leaf to demonstrate this approach. By calibrating the device in the far-field and utilizing an algorithm to adjust the focal plane, she enables high-quality imaging across different scales without the need for multiple calibrations. This innovative approach, one of the first of its kind, could make endoscopic imaging easier and more versatile, opening up new possibilities in the biomedical field. We wish Varsha many more groundbreaking achievements and can’t wait to see what she does next! 🙌

How can we harness light more efficiently? Researchers from Leibniz-IPHT, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and Universität Ulm have developed a method to precisely control the light absorption of iron compounds. By making small chemical modifications, they influence how these compounds react to light, opening new possibilities for sustainable technologies in photovoltaics and photocatalysis. 🌱💡 This discovery by the CRC/TRR 234 CataLight research team could offer an environmentally friendly alternative to expensive materials like iridium, marking a step towards sustainable energy solutions. ➡️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/drz-mtm7 // Wie kann man Licht effizienter nutzen?
