A major problem of optical microscopes is their small depth-of-field (DOF), which hinders automation of micro object manipulation using visual feedback. Wavefront coding, a well-known method for extending DOF, is not suitable for direct application to micro object manipulation systems based on visual feedback owing to its expensive computational cost and due to a trade-off between the DOF and the image resolution properties. To solve such inherent problems, a flexible DOF imaging system using a spatial light modulator in the pupil plane is proposed. Especially, the trade-off relationship is quantitatively analyzed by experiments. Experimental results show that, for low criterion resolution, the DOF increases as the strength of the mask increases, while such a trend was not found for high criterion resolution. With high criterion resolution, the DOF decreases as the mask strength increases when high-resolution images are required. The results obtained can be used effectively to find the optimum mask strength given the desired image resolution.

As the clinical applicability of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) expands, the need for PNS-specific safety criteria becomes pressing. This study addresses this need, utilizing a novel machine learning and computational bio-electromagnetics modeling platform to establish a safety criterion that captures the effects of fields and currents induced on axons. Our approach is comprised of three steps: experimentation, model creation, and predictive simulation.

Background: High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy using Iridium-192 as a radiation source is widely employed in cancer treatment to deliver concentrated radiation doses while minimizing normal tissue exposure. In this treatment, the precision with which the sealed radioisotope source is delivered significantly impacts clinical outcomes.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a new four-dimensional (4D) in vivo source tracking and treatment verification system for HDR brachytherapy using a patient-specific approach.
