  1. 11. A Biological Position Sensitive Detector
    Alan Litke (Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP))

    Position Sensitive Detectors for Biology
    Keynote talk
    The back of the eye is lined by an extraordinary biological position sensitive detector, the retina. This living neural network is able to extract vital information about the external visual world, and transmit this information in a timely manner to the brain. In this talk, after a brief introduction to retinal architecture, I will describe how we measure the functional properties of the...

    Position Sensitive Detectors for Biology
    Oral Contribution
    CMOS sensors are developed for high energy physics. They offer a unique optimization with respect to granularity, thickness, readout speed, radiation tolerance and power consumption. We focus here on photon imaging. After a presentation of the general achievements of the MIMOSA sensors, we discuss the sensor ability to detect X rays of a few keV. We then turn to the back-thinned version of...

    Position Sensitive Detectors for Biology
    Oral Contribution
    A number of electron detectors for transmission electron microscopes (TEM) are being developed to overcome limitations of existing imaging cameras, i.e. poor modulation transfer, low efficiency, slow frame rate and limited dynamic range. A variety of new detection modes is being considered with these new detectors, but which will provide optimum performance? This work presents beam tests...

  4. 124. High spatial resolution probes for neurobiology applications

    Position Sensitive Detectors for Biology
    Oral Contribution
    Position-sensitive biological neural networks, such as the brain and retina, require position-sensitive detection methods to identify, map and study their behaviour. Traditionally, planar microelectrodes have been employed to record the cells electrical activity, with device limitations arising from the electrodes 2-D nature. Described here is the development and characterisation of an array...
