<\/a>Image \u00a9 Jess Wade \/ Imperial College London\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\nWhen we came to shoot Jess at work in the lab at the amazing Diamond Light Source facility, we got more than we bargained for. Jess very kindly supplied us with some stunningly gorgeous microscope<\/a> images of her research.<\/p>\n Jess graduated from Imperial College London in 2012 with a First class MSci in Physics before completing a PhD under the supervision of Dr Ji-Seon Kim. Jess is now a post-doc working with Professor Alisdair Campbell and Dr Matt Fuchter, on chiral organic light emitting diodes. Jess is pictured here at the incredible Diamond Light Source facility with Francesco Salerno.<\/p>\n Jess and her team are measuring circular dichroism – the differential absorption of left and right handed circularly polarised light – here at the B23 lab at Diamond. Jess kindly supplied us with these Microscope<\/a> images, which feature the chiral layers of carbon based polymers for light emitting diodes.<\/p>\n These images were generated by Jess and her team while researching new light emitting-diode materials, with a focus on the emission of circularly polarised light.<\/p>\n We think that these are mind bendingly beautiful, and Jess has allowed us to add these to the image library for everybody to use.<\/p>\n All of these images and more can be found on the College Asset Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’ve also started a new collection featuring more abstract research images<\/a> here on the College Asset Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n All of these images and more can be found on the College Asset Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n The upper layer of the facility is bathed in an eerie orange light.<\/p>\n The B23 lab within, where Jess and her team were based.<\/p>\n Jess pretending to write something down while being jolly happy about it.<\/p>\n This is the second shoot on this day in Oxford, you can read about the first shoot at Williams F1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The College photography toolkit has a range of resources to help source or commission photography in the College.<\/p>\n Visit the new Imperial College London Photography Toolkit here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Watch this introduction to photography video course on Lynda.com\u00a0<\/a>(College users have free access to Lynda courses<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adventures in chiral layers and the synchrotron.
