Image post-processing for SILMAS: structured illumination light sheet microscopy with axial sweeping.

In this article, we propose a post-processing scheme for the novel volumetric microscopy technique SILMAS. We demonstrate this scheme on data from an alpha-synuclein transgenic mouse brain. By combining structured illumination and axial sweeping, a SILMAS measurement provides a prerequisite for quantitative data extraction through improved contrast and optical sectioning.

High-Speed Fluorescence Imaging Corroborates Biological Data on the Influence of Different Nozzle Types on Cell Spray Viability and Formation.

Treating severe dermal disruptions often presents significant challenges. Recent advancements have explored biological cell sprays as a promising treatment, but their success hinges on efficient cell delivery and complete wound coverage. This requires a good spray distribution with a small droplet size, high particle number, and ample surface coverage.

Instantaneous thermometry imaging using two-photon laser-induced fluorescence.

Measuring temperature in complex two-phase flows is crucial for understanding the dynamics of heat and mass transfer. In this Letter, we introduce a novel, to the best of our knowledge, optical approach based on the combination of two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (2p-LIF) imaging and two-color laser-induced fluorescence (2CLIF) for instantaneous temperature mapping of complex liquid media. Using Kiton Red (KR) and Rhodamine 560 (R560), a temperature sensitivity of 1.

Droplet sizing in atomizing sprays using polarization ratio with structured laser illumination planar imaging.

Previous research has shown that the polarization ratio technique allows the characterization of the surface mean diameter, D, of droplets forming dilute sprays. However, its application to optically dense sprays has posed significant challenges due to the presence of multiple light scattering. Additionally, errors in measurement can arise from the angular dependence of the signal.

High-speed videography of transparent media using illumination-based multiplexed schlieren.

Schlieren photography is widely used for visualizing phenomena within transparent media. The technique, which comes in a variety of configurations, is based on detecting or extracting the degree to which light is deflected whilst propagating through a sample. To date, high-speed schlieren videography can only be achieved using high-speed cameras, thus limiting the frame rate of such configurations to the capabilities of the camera.
