This was the 7th of Kid's Photonics School Super HIKARIJUKU. And we received 327 applications, which is octuple of the quota. 40 children was selected by lot and joined the lectures about light.
Participants was given four lectures : A spectroscope made from the box of famous sweets, Big light with marbles, Pinhole camera made from milk carton, display which children can learn light by touch, and showing of 3D printer.
Pupils, who experienced the mystery of light related our usual lives, answered "every lecture was so interesting", "it was so fun because he was taught gently" in questionnaire.
Benefactors of children also said "the lectures were more full-fledged than he had expected",
We are so delightful that we could hear satisfaction labels of participants are totally high.
We also had honor to welcome Mr. Keiji Goto, the Mayor of Suita city, and he 
greeted with a pleasant subject related light.
We would like to appreciate all of participants, Mr. Goto, and boards education of Suita city, Toyonaka city, Mihoh city.

Prof. Wolfgang Fritzsche, Department Head of Nanobiophotonics at Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology eV, payed a visit to PARC on the 16th of September, 2016.

Prof. Fritzsche has been exploring innovative developments of plasmonics and bio life science technology including Raman microscopy with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution and diverse capability for information collection of bio science. He visited Prof. Tamiya's laboratory and PARC, and discussed the views on prospective research exchange with Prof. Inouye, Executive Director of PARC, and Prof. Iwasaki, Program Coordinator of PARC.

 

Currently, Prof. Wolfgang Fritzsche is a short-term visiting researcher of JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) working at the Laboratory of Prof Shuichi Hashimoto, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Tokushima University.







Dr. Dieter W. Pohl visited Photonics Center.

Dr. Dieter W. Pohl devised Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) with localized evanescent waves at IBM Zurich Laboratories, Switzerland in 1982, and demonstrated a super resolution image via visible light for the first time in the world. A small aperture which size was much smaller than wavelength of light, was made at the sharpened tip of dielectric material (quartz) with metal coating and non-radiation light (near-field light) generated at the aperture was used as a light spot.

We had honor to welcome Dr. Yasuo Hasegawa, Director-General, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Mr. Satoshi Fujita , Ph. D, Group Leader of Biomedical Research Institute, AIST.
Dr. Hasegawa gave a lecture about what AIST actually research and accomplish. He talked about not only research activity but also activities of academic-industrial alliance.
Mr. Fujita gave a speech about cell function and cellular imaging as his research activities, and the topic of cell chip and cell manipulation attracted the audience's interest.
Some of participants said "he could understand AIST research activities",  "he was very interested in topic of organ on chip" in questionnaires. 
We would like to appreciate for the participants.
