Purpose: To report a new, noncontact wide field viewing system for vitreoretinal surgery.
Design: Device description: A noncontact wide field viewing system consisting of adjustable hinged arm and a combined condensing lens and reinverting prism has been developed. The arm clamps onto the operating table or wrist rest and holds the lens system in the air above the eye.
Methods: For vitreoretinal surgery, a new, relatively inexpensive noncontact wide field viewing system consisting of an adjustable hinged arm and a combined condensing lens and reinverting prism has been developed. The combination condensing lens and reinverting prism is used without a microscope-mounted inverter. The optical component may be sterilized with ethylene oxide, peracetic acid, or glutaraldehyde. Other components may be steam autoclaved.
Results: The new, noncontact wide field viewing system has been used satisfactorily in more than 200 vitrectomies at seven medical centers. It provides an excellent view of the vitreous and retina.
Conclusion: A new, noncontact wide field viewing system for vitreoretinal surgery has been developed with satisfactory image quality and a field of view comparable to contemporary noncontact panoramic viewing systems.

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is a robust wide-field optical nanoscopy technique. Several approaches are implemented to improve SIM's resolution capability (∼2-fold). However, achieving a high resolution with a large field of view (FOV) is still challenging.

The increasing prevalence of micropollutants like cationic and anionic dyes in wastewater creates an influential environmental challenge, mainly due to their toxic effects and persistence. Current methods often lack the efficiency and versatility to cope with a wide variety of contaminants. This study explores the modification of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) to enhance their cationic properties.

In this work, a theoretical approach is developed to investigate the structural properties of ionic microgels induced by a circularly polarized (CP) electric field. Following a similar study on chain formation in the presence of linearly polarized fields [T. Colla , , 2018, , 4321-4337], we propose an effective potential between microgels which incorporates the field-induced interactions a static, time averaged polarizing charge at the particle surface.
