On one hand\, So will describe several generations of qu antitative interferometric microscopic systems with improved spectral cont rast\, depth resolution\, and enhanced sensitivity. In conjunction with th ese advances in optical imaging techniques\, important biomedical applicat ions have become possible including the identification of biophysical mark ers of sickle red blood cells and the study of cancer cell nuclear mechani cs in relationship to their metastasis potential.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/SENSEnano/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
