Grazing incidence to total internal reflection fluorescence structured illumination microscopy enabled by a prism telescope
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)In super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) the separation between opposing laser spots in the back focal plane of the objective lens affects the pattern periodicity, and, thus, the resulting spatial resolution. Here, we introduce a novel hexagonal prism telescope which allows us to seamlessly change the separation between parallel laser beams for 3 pairs of beams, simultaneously. ... -

Gruppeforskjeller i spatiale evner. En kvantitativ studie av gruppeforskjeller i spatiale evner mellom fysikkstudenter og psykologistudenter
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-04-30)Forskning har indikert kjønnsforskjeller i spatiale evner, i tillegg til gruppeforskjeller mellom studentgrupper. Menn presterer bedre på spatiale oppgaver enn kvinner, og «STEM»-studenter har vist seg å prestere bedre enn andre studenter. På bakgrunn av tidligere forskning ønsket vi å teste hypotesen om at fysikkstudenter presterer bedre på spatiale tester enn psykologistudenter. Femti deltakere ...
