Cell organelles perform a range of cellular life tasks. Their impairment is closely associated with cancer development and metastasis. Analysis of subcellular structures and their impaired states offers insights into the workings of pathologies, which may allow early diagnosis for more fruitful treatment.
While assessing with light, the lateral extent of the structures that an optical imaging system can resolve is ultimately diffraction constrained. Resolving this constraint is a prominent topic in a recent study, with various ideas published in this field.
In an article published in the journal Micromachines, researchers designed a novel measurement technique that combines transmission digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and reflection DHM to obtain thickness and surface information of elements to deduce the 3D structure.
Highly focused laser beams, sometimes referred to as optical tweezers (OTs), can be used to handle minuscule objects without the application of physical force.
Professor Milena D’Angelo’s research group at the Dipartimento Interateneo di Fisica, Università degli Studi di Bari, has devised an innovative light-field microscopy technique for volumetric imaging.
In an article published in Scientific Reports, researchers present a lightweight one-photon microscope capable of imaging at different focal depths.
A research group from the University of Innsbruck’s Department of Botany, led by Professor Gilbert Neuner, has studied how frost on potato leaves has detrimental effects on potato production. The experiments were conducted using cryo-microscopic techniques.
In an article published in the journal Toxins, researchers applied an integrated microscopic (light microscopy) and molecular (18S rRNA gene metabarcoding and qPCR) approach complemented with toxin analysis in the northwestern part of the Black Sea for better toxin profiling and taxonomic coverage in natural populations.
Researchers have demonstrated that a complicated, high-quality polymer optical device can be created using 3D laser printing right on the end of an optical fiber.
WPI Vision, a division of World Precision Instruments, pleased to announce plans to exhibit in Booth #1222 at SMTA International, scheduled to take place Nov 2-3, 2022 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minnesota.
