Wobbling PWr

Today we welcomed a new member of the team: Fabian Dębowy.
Fabian works on processing of the wobbling images/sequences registered with use of our setup and significantly strengthens our team in terms of developing the numerical procedures.

Nice to see you in our team, Fabian!

Visual Optics Group is seeking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to be involved in the project:

https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/621679

The project is meant to merge multidisciplinary research from the areas of biomedical/mechanical engineering, computer science (modelling tools), physics (classical mechanics) and physiological optics.

If you have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics or Computer Science and are experienced in finite elements methods (FEM) modelling, just don't wait and apply for a position!

that crystalline lens wobbling was first observed in 1936 by an australian medician A.W. D'ombrain?

He described a clinical case of a cataractous subject, whose lens was "tremulous" while being examined with slit-lamp.

His observation was as follows:
"on the slightest movement of the eyes, the lens trembled as if it were suspended on a elastic ring".

Without physical background of the author, the explanation of the phenomenon was still unknown.

D'Ombrain AW. "Tremulous lens," Br J Ophthalmol, 1936;20(1):22-23. doi:10.1136/bjo.20.1.22

During yesterday's online lab meeting we discussed on the optical simulations of wobbling in Zemax, bioethical committee approval (in progress) and plans for... "shopping" the equipment and accessories for the purpose of future experiments.

Thanks to Marta Skrok, Agnieszka Boszczyk, Agnieszka Jóźwik, Joanna Przeździecka-Dołyk and Damian Siedlecki for this productive discussion!
