Co-mapping Cellular Content and Extracellular Matrix with Hemodynamics in Intact Arterial Tissues Using Scanning Immunofluorescent Multiphoton Microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Deviation of blood flow from an optimal range is known to be associated with the initiation and progression of vascular pathologies. Important open questions remain about how the abnormal flow drives specific wall changes in pathologies such as cerebral aneurysms where the flow is highly heterogeneous and complex.

Towards high-throughput 3D insect capture for species discovery and diagnostics [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Digitisation of natural history collections not only preserves precious information about biological diversity, it also enables us to share, analyse, annotate and compare specimens to gain new insights. High-resolution, full-colour 3D capture of biological specimens yields color and geometry information complementary to other techniques (e.g., 2D ...

Numerical modeling of specimen geometry for quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Transmission electron microscopy specimens typically exhibit local distortion at thin foil edges, which can influence the absorption of X-rays for quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Here, we report a numerical, three-dimensional approach to model the geometry of general specimens and its influence on quantification when using ...
