Outline of Research at the Start |
The role of quantum mechanics in biological systems has started to be widely appreciated. A key example is biological magnetosensitivity arising from the formation of radical pairs directly in the cells of living systems. To characterise these effects and species, new instruments are required that are extremely sensitive and that can discern quantum effects of electron spin. This project will develop and implement a new fluorescence microscope imaging technique which can extract direct time-resolved and magnetic information about short-lived radical pair species formed in living cells.
