Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope made entirely from 3D-printed parts. And because the ...

Optical microscopes depend on light ... The technique also requires image processing. Light passing through the metamaterial breaks into speckles that produce low-resolution images that can ...

This chapter explores the physical processes that lie behind the modern methods of obtaining optically sectioned images with an emphasis on the practical details that should be taken into ...

Physicists from the group of Jorik van de Groep at the UvA-Institute of Physics have devised a new method that can be used to ...

This file transforms director to Q tensor assuming that Q is locally uniaxial. This function uses interpolation to create director field on a regular grid ready to be read by pom-image.py. This file ...

RAPID (Rapid Autofocusing via Pupil-split Image phase Detection) is an implementation of the phase detection principle for defocus measurement, applicable to all wide-field optical microscopes ...

Our quantitative approach in differential interference contrast microscopy is an example that explores the forgotten power ... These phase shifted images can then be combined, using phase retrieval ...

Identifying nanoparticles in a polymer matrix and determining their aggregation state from optical images is challenging due to the low contrast, anisotropic shape, overlapping particle instances, and ...

this will enable microscope images to be collected from previously inaccessible parts of the human body, while minimizing associated tissue damage. "Light transmitted through an optical fiber is ...
