In this paper, we design a multimodal visible/near-infrared photoacoustic microscopy and optical coherence tomography (VIS/NIR-PAM-OCT) system for imaging both retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid complex ...

The recent advances in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, including single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), has enabled the study of previously inaccessible details, such as the organization of proteins wi...

Detection of transparent phase specimens especially biological cells with desired contrasts is of great importance in visual display and medical diagnosis. Due to the pure-phase nature, conventional detection approaches ...

Several optical microscopy methods are now available for characterizing scientific and industrial processes at sub-micron resolution. However, they are often ill-suited for imaging rapid events. Limited by the trade-off ...

Conventional microscopes designed for submicron resolution in biological research are hindered by a limited field of view, typically around 1 mm. This restriction poses a challenge when attempting to simultaneously analy...

The shape memory effect in Cu–Al–Ni alloys iscaused by martensitic transformations between a metastablematrix (β phase) and one or more martensitic phases. Inthese alloys, when diffusion becomes significant, precipi...

Quantum path interferences occur whenever multiple equivalent and coherent transitions result in a common final state. Such interferences strongly modify the probability of a particle to be found in that final state, a k...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer. Conventional approaches to BCC diagnosis often involve invasive histological examinations that can distort or even destroy information derived from the biomolec...

Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are macromolecules usually synthesized during growth under certain incubation conditions. Depending on their location, they may be of a capsular type (tightly bound to the cell surface)...

Current knowledge of the nervous system, particularly the brain, is the result of technological advances and the collective effort of many scientists. However, it was Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) who played a cr...

Nanosized CuFe2O4 ferrite was synthesized through the sol-gel self-combustion technique, using iron and copper nitrates with citric acid as fuel. The synthesized ferrite was subsequently analyzed using X-ray diffraction ...

ABSTRACT In the Amazon region, andiroba (Carapa guianensis) oil is among the most used products by the local population due to its medicinal properties. Previously, our group described the leishmanicidal activity of thre...

Precisely pinpointing the positions of emitters within the diffraction limit is crucial for quantitative analysis or molecular mechanism investigation in biomedical research but has remained challenging unless exploiting...

Thanks to their exceptional spatial, spectral and temporal resolution, highly-coherent free-electron beams have emerged as powerful probes for material excitations, enabling their characterization even in the quantum reg...

Semiconductor nanowires can enhance the signal of fluorescent molecules, thus significantly improving the limits of fluorescence detection in optical biosensing. In this work, we explore how the sensitivity can further b...

The effect of lactocin AL705, bacteriocin produced by Latilactobacillus (Lat.) curvatus CRL1579 against Listeria biofilms on stainless steel (SS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coupons at 10 ◦C was investigated. L....

Digital in-line holographic microscopy (DIHM) is a widely used interference technique for real-time reconstruction of living cells’ morphological information with large space-bandwidth product and compact setup. Howeve...

Abstract Background Human patients with Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (EDS) are categorized into subtypes based on causative genetic variants and phenotypes. The classical form of EDS, primarily caused by variants in COL5A1 o...

Component interaction in the Tl2Te – SiTe2 and Tl2SiTe3 – Cd(Hg)Te systems was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spe...

Alloys from the regions of existence of the solid solutions RxTb2-xNi17 and Tb2Ni17-yMy were synthesized by arc-melting with further annealing at 400 ºС. Quantitative and qualitative composition of alloys and powders ...

Bio-calcification, also known as microbiologically induced calcite precipitation, is a phenomenon involving the activity of the enzyme urease. A large number of soil microorganism exhibit urease-producing ability. The ma...

This research aimed to explore the callogenesis, characterization, and antioxidant potential of Acacia nilotica callus and seed silver nanoparticles. The callus induction was accomplished using plant growth hormones. The...

Abstract The demand for healthy ingredients in food products including ice cream, is continuously increasing. The potential of a combination of milk polar lipids (MPL) and casein hydrolysate (CH) to replace synthetic emu...

ABSTRACT Croceous glands are visible structures defined by their rounded shape and yellowish color. They have great taxonomic importance, being used to delimit the Timutua section, one of the 14 sections of the subgenera...
