Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

Spiral phase contrast (SPC) imaging proves to be an important and convenient approach for edge enhancement in image processing. Due to the limited size of the spiral phase filter and other optical ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few ...

Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the ...

Whole-mount 3D imaging at the cellular scale is a powerful tool for exploring complex processes during morphogenesis. In organoids, it allows examining tissue architecture, cell types, and morphology ...

A simulation method is proposed to verify and optimize the critical parameters for hard X-ray in-line phase contrast imaging (PCI) implemented based on the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory. This ...

Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3), a compound of earth-abundant elements with a highly anisotropic, quasi-layered crystal structure, has triggered growing interest as a solar absorber in photovoltaics and as a ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has become an essential tool for investigating materials, providing detailed characterization at nano and atomic scales. By combining subangstrom ...

Stained specimens were imaged under phase-contrast microscopy with consistent illumination parameters. 2.16 RT-qPCR Total cellular RNA was extracted using chloroform-based phase separation, followed ...
