About NBI
The goal of NBI is to design and implement advanced instrumentation and imaging protocols that exploit nonlinear light-matter interactions in living systems. Through these approaches, we aim to retrieve structural and dynamical information in a non invasive manner across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
