The Lutetium Project's video: Light at your fingertips

Fingerprints are used to identify criminals, but stop being reliable when damaged. How can we still read them? 🔎 With a state-of-the art imaging technique that shows their inside! Mystery solved, thanks to Egidijus Auksorius, PhD. ↓ More infos and links in the description ↓ ----------------------------------------­----------------------------- LINKS: French version: https://youtu.be/alU3JbNmhhM Subscribe to the channel : https://youtube.com/thelutetiumproject Follow us on Twitter : https://twitter.com/TheLuProject Visit our website: https://www.lutetium.paris/en ----------------------------------------­----------------------------- MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEE : Egidijus Auksorius graduated in physics from the University of Vilnius. He received the Ph.D. degree in physics from Imperial College London for work on Fluorescence lifetime imaging and super-resolution STED microscopy. He then worked as a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School in Boston and the Institute Langevin in Paris on Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT). He is currently a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology in Vilnius and a Senior Researcher at the Polish Academy of Science in Warsaw, Physical Optics and Biophotonics Group. His current research interests include the development and application of FF-OCT for eye imaging.
