Title: Yeon Ui Lee and High-Resolution Illumination Nanoscopy
Introduction
Yeon Ui Lee is an inventor based in San Diego, California, and is associated with the University of California. His work includes an invention designed to advance ultra-high-resolution illumination nanoscopy.
Latest Patents
Lee is named on 1 patent, titled “High Effective Refractive Index Materials for Ultra-High Resolution Illumination Nanoscopy.” The invention describes a structure made with one or more high effective refractive index materials on a substrate. When illuminated, the structure can generate sub-diffraction-limit patterns, including speckle patterns, to illuminate a specimen during image capture. The materials may have an effective refractive index of 3 or greater, with examples including hyperbolic metamaterial multilayers, nanowire-based hyperbolic metamaterials, and organic hyperbolic materials.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects Lee’s contribution to research in optical materials and advanced microscopy. By using engineered materials to create illumination patterns beyond the diffraction limit, the technology aims to support imaging of fine specimen details.
Collaborations
Lee’s listed coworkers include Zhaowei Liu and Qian Ma. The patent’s institutional association is the University of California.
Conclusion
Yeon Ui Lee’s patent explores how high effective refractive index materials can enable sub-diffraction-limit illumination, contributing to the development of ultra-high-resolution nanoscopy.
