Spectrally encoded flow cytometry (SEFC) is a promising technique for noninvasive in vivo microscopy of blood cells. Here, we introduce a novel SEFC system for label-free confocal imaging of blood cells flowing at velocities of up to 10 mm/s within 65 μm-diameter vessels. The new system employs interferometric Fourier-domain detection and a high-speed wavelength-swept source, allowing 100 kHz line rate, sufficient for sampling the rapidly flowing cells 80 μm below the tissue surface. The large data sets obtained by this technique would improve diagnosis accuracy, reduce imaging time, and open new possibilities for noninvasive monitoring of blood in patients.

Sparse coding theories suggest that the visual brain is optimized to encode natural visual stimuli to minimize metabolic cost. It is thought that images that do not have the same statistical properties as natural images are unable to be coded efficiently and result in visual discomfort. Conversely, artworks are thought to be even more efficiently processed compared to natural images and so are esthetically pleasing.

Inspired by its biostructure, we developed a snapshot polarization-hyperspectral camera (pHScam) to detect linear polarization in four directions and spectral signature in 21 bands of incident light, resulting in a 4D polar-spectral hypercube, represented as (,,,→). We introduced two bio-mimetic encoding mechanisms, viz.

Miniature fluorescence microscopes (miniscopes) are one of the most powerful and versatile tools for recording large scale neural activity in freely moving rodents with single cell resolution. Recent advances in the design of genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) allow to target distinct neuronal populations with non-overlapping emission spectral profiles. However, conventional miniscopes are limited to a single excitation, single focal plane imaging, which does not allow to compensate for chromatic aberration and image from two spectrally distinct calcium indicators.

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with exceptional dynamics and diverse active sites possess tremendous potential in information security and anticounterfeiting applications. However, traditional MOF systems are based on broadband spectral signals with spectrum overlap, which easily leads to low-resolution signal identification, compromising the overall security level. Here, we report the coordination-defect-induced amorphous pure-MOF microsphere with switchable whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) signals as a mode-dependent security platform.

Recent studies on graph representation learning in brain tumor learning tasks have garnered significant interest by encoding and learning inherent relationships among the geometric features of tumors. There are serious class imbalance problems that occur on brain tumor MRI datasets. Impressive deep learning models like CNN- and Transformer-based can easily address this problem through their complex model architectures with large parameters.
