Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a powerful technique for harvesting specific cells from a heterogeneous population. As each cell and tissue has its unique genetic, proteomic, and metabolic profile, the use of homogeneous samples is important for a better understanding of complex processes in both animal and plant systems. In case of plants, LCM is very suitable as the highly regular tissue organization and stable cell walls from these organisms enable visual identification of various cell types without staining of tissue sections, which can prevent some downstream analysis. Considering the applicability of LCM to any plant species, here we provide a step-by-step protocol for selecting specific cells or tissues through this technology.

The phenomena occurring in a weld seam during advancement of a laser beam over a metallic component are still under dispute. The occurrence and evolution of porosity and the occasional blowout of melt need to be understood. Here, a recently developed X-ray tomoscopy setup is applied, providing one hundred 3D images per second to capture the temporal evolution of the melt pool in an AlSi9Cu3(Fe) die-casting while a laser beam advances.

Femtosecond photoacoustic detection is a powerful all-optical technique for characterizing metal nanofilms. However, the lack of accurate descriptions of the temperature-dependent optical properties of metal nanofilms during ultrafast thermal processes hinders the deep understanding of this dynamic behavior, leading to compromised measurement accuracy. To address this, we developed Critical Point Models (CPMs) for copper and AlCu nanofilms to describe their dynamic optical properties during photoacoustic testing.

Robot calibration and modelling measurements are commonly performed using a laser tracker. To capture three-dimensional positions, a SMR is attached to the robot. While some researchers employ adhesive bonds for this purpose, such methods often result in inaccurate, unstable and non-repeatable SMR positioning, adversely affecting measurement precision and the traceability of research outcomes.
