ABSTRACT

"In this seminar, I will describe the principles and instrumentation 
development of a novel, high performance inexpensive near-infrared 
multispectral imaging (NIR-MSI) microscope which was developed recently in 
our laboratory. This NIR-MSI microscope is based on an acousto-optic
tunable filter for spectrally scanning and either an InSb or a HgCdTe focal 
plane arrays infrared camera for NIR images recording. The high sensitivity 
(single pixel resolution) and high spatial resolution (~0.9 μm/pixel) 
of the NIR-MSI microscope, coupled with its ability to measure images and 
spectra directly and simultaneously, makes it possible for us to use, for 
the first time, for measurements which are not possible with existing 
instruments/techniques. These include in situ monitoring of the size, 
morphology, spectroscopic properties and lower critical solution
temperature (LCST) of individual hydrogel particles, the localized surface 
plasmon resonance of individual gold nanoshell and gold nanocage particles, 
and the noninvasive detection and identification of melanoma and other type 
of skin cancers."

Chieu D. Tran received his B.S. degree from Kumamoto University in Japan and 
his Ph. D. from Texas A & M University. He joined Brookhaven National 
Laboratory as a Staff Scientist in 1982 after spending two years doing post-
doctoral research at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
He joined the faculty at Marquette University in 1986, and currently is the 
Pfletschinger-Habermann Distinguished Professor of Chemistry. He has 
received numerous awards including the 2005 Lawrence G. Haggerty Award for 
Research Excellence, the 2004 American Chemical Society (ACS), Milwaukee 
Section Award, the Senior Invitation Fellowship given by the Japan
Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), the 2002 Sigma Xi Award for 
Distinguished Scientific Research Achievement, the 1999 Gold Medal Award 
given by the New York Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS), 
the Shannon Award given by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the 
1992 Perkin-Elmer International Liquid Chromatography Technical Paper
Award. He has been on Editorial Advisory Boards of several journals 
including Analytical Letters, Applied Spectroscopy Reviews, Microchemical 
Journal and Talanta.

Srdacan pozdrav
