A research group led by Associate Professor Tsuneyuki Tomita of the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Science has recently won the 2019 Joint Research Award for Materials and Devices at the Joint Research Center for Materials and Devices. At the 9th Joint Research Center for Materials and Devices Research Activity Report and the Dynamic Alliance Achievement Report for 2018-Evolving Joint Research Center Organization held at Senri Life Science Center in Osaka on July 1. The award ceremony was held, and Prof. Tomita was present.

Associate Professor Yosuke Okamura (Micro / Nano Research and Development Center) and Researcher Hiroshi Zhang of the Department of Applied Chemistry (Faculty of Engineering) have recently used biological optical microscopes to make biological samples deeper and deeper using a common optical microscope using water-repellent nanosheets. We have developed a new technology that can observe up to. A paper summarizing the results was published in the online journal “PLOS ONE” on science on January 10.
