Klaus Tschira Boost Fund
May 4, 2021: Miriam Menzel received the Klaus Tschira Boost Fund of the German Scholars Organization. The funding will support the development of a scattering polarimeter to combine polarized and scattered light imaging of brain tissue in a single system.
Light Scattering Enables New Insights into the Brain
April 2, 2020: We found that the scattering of visible light can be used to resolve the substructure of the brain, such as the crossing angles of nerve fibers with micrometer resolution.
Helmholtz Doctoral Prize
November 6, 2019: Miriam Menzel received the Doctoral Prize of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers in the research field Key Technologies.
Diattenuation Imaging – A promising imaging technique for brain research
March 19, 2019: We developed Diattenuation Imaging, a new imaging technique that provides structural brain tissue information that was previously difficult to access.
