Intracellular processes triggered by neural activity include changes in ionic concentrations, protein release, and synaptic vesicle cycling. These processes play significant roles in neurological disorders. The beneficial effects of brain stimulation may also be mediated through intracellular changes.

Scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is a novel metrological tool that advances the quantitative, nanometric, high-frequency, electrical characterization of a broad range of materials of technological importance. In this work, we report an inverted near-field scanning microwave microscopy (iSMM) investigation of a graphene oxide-based epoxy nanocomposite material at a nanoscopic level. The high-resolution spatial mapping of local conductance provides a quantitative analysis of the sample's electrical properties.

Article Synopsis
  • Multibeam echosounders are essential tools for creating detailed 3D maps of underwater terrain and studying water columns, but they generate large amounts of data that are challenging to process efficiently.
  • *This research proposes a new workflow that enhances the detection and classification of underwater targets by using commercial software to calculate target metrics and integrating them into a semi-supervised machine learning system.
  • *Testing this method with data from an Adriatic Sea offshore gas platform resulted in improved detection efficiency and a high accuracy of 98% for classifying targets, despite some uncertainties with user-provided training data.

The present paper describes a novel implementation of the continuous phase shifting method (PSM), named heterodyne holography, in a scanning probe microscope configuration, able to retrieve the complex scattered field in on-axis configuration. This can be achieved by acquiring a continuous sequence of holograms at different wavelengths in just a single scan through the combination of scanning interference microscopy and a low-coherent signal acquired in the frequency domain. This method exploits the main advantages of the phase shifting technique and avoids some limits relative to off-axis holography in providing quantitative phase imaging.
