Optical microscopy techniques have become essential tools for studying normal and pathological biological systems. However, in many situations, image quality deteriorates rapidly in the field of view due to optical aberrations and scattering induced by thick tissues. To compensate for these aberrations and restore the microscope's image quality, adaptive optics (AO) techniques have been proposed for the past 15 years.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful technique for cross-sectioning imaging. However, the lateral resolution may be degraded by optical aberrations originating from the sample or the setup. We present an extensive quantitative study of the impact of aberrations in time-domain en-face full-field OCT (FFOCT).

When it comes to thinking about the links that the digital question territorial inequalities and patient rights can have, a question arises quite naturally beyond just telemedicine: the online sale of drugs and its impact on a potentially insufficient pharmacy supply. This contribution therefore proposes to study the reality of this effect in favor of the right of access to healthcare. Two key ideas emerge: not only, despite appearances, this online sale can produce little effect to compensate for a lack of supply, but, what is more, this mode of sale causes indirect effects quite negative for patients and public health.
