 CH-MARTE\nDirector of the Division for Biomedical Optics\nMedical Universi
 ty of Innsbruck\n$$\nSince moving from Quantum Optics into Applied Optics\
 , Monika Ritsch-Marte has contributed to the development and application o
 f microscopic methods and optical tweezers. Her research group has pioneer
 ed new usages for spatial light modulators (SLM) in the form of liquid-cry
 stal displays to optical microscopy. As a programmable Fourier filters SLM
 s allow rapid switching between different microscopy modalities (bright fi
 eld\, dark field\, phase contrast) without the need for changing any hardw
 are components. \nHer group also developed methods of optical manipulation
  of ever-larger particles\, e.g. the optical \"macro-tweezers\" system\, a
  large volume dual-beam mirror trap. This dual-beam approach is suitable t
 o trap and guide swimming micro-organisms such as Euglena without inducing
  any optical damage. For even larger particles a combination of optical tw
 eezers and an ultrasonic trap was developed. \nAnother field of research i
 n Monika Ritsch-Marte’s group is non-linear microscopy\, e.g. chemically
 -selective coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS)\, in particular th
 ey have developed a non-scanning (wide-field) CARS variant. \nMonika Ritsc
 h-Marte and her colleague Stefan Bernet hold several patents (e.g. spiral-
 phase contrast microscopy or a diffractive Moiré lens with tunable refrac
 tive power). \nMonika Ritsch-Marte is also committed to the promotion of w
 omen in physics. During her presidency of the Austrian Physical Society Mo
 nika Ritsch-Marte\, for instance\, initiated the Lise-Meitner-Lectures\, a
 n event series organized yearly in cooperation with the German Physical So
 ciety consisting of public lectures by distinguished female physicists. \n
