A diffuse imaging method is presented that enables wide-field estimation of the depth of fluorescent molecular markers in turbid media by quantifying the deformation of the detected fluorescence spectra due to the wavelength-dependent light attenuation by overlying tissue. This is achieved by measuring the ratio of the fluorescence at two wavelengths in combination with normalization techniques based on diffuse reflectance measurements to evaluate tissue attenuation variations for different depths. It is demonstrated that fluorescence topography can be achieved up to a 5 mm depth using a near-infrared dye with millimeter depth accuracy in turbid media having optical properties representative of normal brain tissue. Wide-field depth estimates are made using optical technology integrated onto a commercial surgical microscope, making this approach feasible for real-world applications.

Plastic biodegradation by microbes is an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach that has no negative consequences. In this study, mealworms were fed with 9 different diets with expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyethylene foam (PF), after 28 days of incubation mealworm survival rates were highest at 93.3 % when fed wheat bran alone whereas 83.

To address the challenge of extracting features from chaotic and globally correlated speckles formed by transmitting images through cascaded complex scattering media, we establish a deep learning approach based on SMixerNet. By efficiently using the parameter-free matrix transposition, SMixerNet achieves a broad receptive field with less inductive bias through concise multi-layer perceptron (MLP).

While this capability holds promise for a variety of applications, including data transfer, neural endoscopy, and multi-mode optical fiber-based imaging, conventional deep learning methods struggle to capture the nuances of light propagation, leading to weak generalization and limited reconstruction performance. To address this limitation, we investigated the non-locality present in the reconstructed images and discovered that conventional deep learning methods rely on specific features extracted from the training dataset rather than meticulously reconstructing each pixel.

Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is a transformative method for probing subsurface chemical compositions in turbid media. This systematic study of Monte Carlo simulations provides closed-form characterizations of key SORS parameters, such as the distribution of spatial origins of collected Raman photons and optimal SORS geometry to selectively interrogate a subsurface region of interest. These results are unified across an extensive range of material properties by multiplying spatial dimensions by the medium's effective attenuation coefficient, which can be calculated when the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients are known from the literature or experimentation.
