The Quest for Early Detection of Retinal Disease: 3D CycleGAN-based Translation of Optical Coherence Tomography into Confocal Microscopy [PDF]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy are pivotal in retinal imaging, offering distinct advantages and limitations. In vivo OCT offers rapid, non-invasive imaging but can suffer from clarity issues and motion artifacts, while ex vivo confocal microscopy, providing high-resolution, cellular-detailed color images, is invasive and ...

Near‐Field Phonon Nanoscopy and Imaging of Structural Variants in Mixed Phase BiFeO3
Nano‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scattering scanning near‐field optical microscopy imaging reveal the phonon response of nanoscale phase variants in mixed‐phase BiFeO3 (BFO). Direct mid‐infrared imaging of associated distinct vibrational signatures is used as a non‐invasive optical detection method for electrical switching of ...

Delineation of Skin Strata in Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Images using Recurrent Convolutional Networks with Toeplitz Attention [PDF]
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an effective, non-invasive pre-screening tool for skin cancer diagnosis, but it requires extensive training and experience to assess accurately. There are few quantitative tools available to standardize image acquisition and analysis, and the ones that are available are not interpretable. In this study, we use a

Geometric multi‐bit patterning based on dynamic wetting and dewetting phenomena creates roulette‐like Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) labels with stochastic yet deterministic properties. This method leverages the solutal‐Marangoni effect for high randomness while achieving deterministic multinary patterns through polygonal confinement of binary ...

Interpretation of Confocal ISO 21073: 2019 confocal microscopes: Optical data of fluorescence confocal microscopes for biological imaging- Recommended Methodology for Quality Control [PDF]
The performance of a confocal imaging system may be no better than a general-purpose widefield system if it is not properly maintained or quality controlled. The publication of ISO 21073, 'Confocal microscopes- Optical data of fluorescence confocal microscopes for biological imaging', set a standard for the minimal Quality Control (QC) that should be ...
