Welcome to SPECTRA!
About us
Spectra is a student-led imaging society that encompasses the student groups of the international society for optics and photonics (SPIE), the optical society (OPTICA, formerly OSA), and the imaging sciences pathway (ISP).
Our aim is to create and build a community at Washington University in St. Louis centered on the study and advancement of different imaging modalities. In addition, we seek to promote the educational advancement of the K-12 students of the greater St. Louis community into scientific fields of study.
2024 Upcoming event – Lightscape
Each year Spectra hosts a special event – Lightscape. This event offers students a platform to showcase the beauty of science through their own research. Come and join us on April 25th this year!
