Optical aberrations degrade image quality in fluorescence microscopy, including for single-molecule based techniques. These depend on post-processing to localize individual molecules in an image series. Using simulated data, we show the impact of optical aberrations on localization success, accuracy and precision. The peak intensity and the proportion of successful localizations strongly reduces when the aberration strength is greater than 1.0 rad RMS, while the precision of each of those localisations is halved. The number of false-positive localisations exceeded 10% of the number of true-positive localisations at an aberration strength of only ~0.6 rad RMS when using the ThunderSTORM package, but at greater than 1.0 rad RMS with the Radial Symmetry package. In the presence of coma, the localization error reaches 100 nm at ~0.6 rad RMS of aberration strength. The impact of noise and of astigmatism for axial resolution are also considered. Understanding the effect of aberrations is crucial when deciding whether the addition of adaptive optics to a single-molecule microscope could significantly increase the information obtainable from an image series.

Development and testing of a dual-frequency real-time hardware feedback system for the hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline of the SSRF.

Article Synopsis
- A new real-time feedback system has been designed to enhance beam position and energy at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility's hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline.
- The system separates the beam position signals into high-frequency and low-frequency components, which are corrected using two different types of optical components with varying inertial masses.
- Experimental results show a marked improvement in stability, reducing beam angular fluctuations significantly, from 2.21 to 0.92 µrad RMS horizontally and from 0.72 to 0.10 µrad RMS vertically.
Harnessing Plasmonic Interference for Nanoscale Ultrafast Electron Sources.
Phys Rev Lett

Department of Physics, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287, USA.
In this Letter we demonstrate the use of plasmonic focusing in conjunction with nonlinear photoemission to develop geometrically flat nanoscale electron sources with less than 40 pm-rad root mean squared (rms) normalized transverse emittance. Circularly polarized light is incident on a gold Archimedean spiral structure to generate surface-plasmon polaritons that interfere coherently at the center resulting in a 50 nm rms emission area. Such a nanostructured flat surface enables simultaneous spatiotemporal confinement of emitted electrons at the nanometer and femtosecond level and can be used as an advanced electron source for high-repetition-rate ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy experiments as well as the next generation of miniaturized particle accelerators.

Ventilation with high intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with recruitment maneuvers (RMs) that result in a low ΔP has the potential to prevent PPCs. This trial tests the hypothesis that compared to standard low PEEP without RMs, an individualized high PEEP strategy, titrated to the lowest ΔP, with RMs prevents PPCs in patients receiving intraoperative protective ventilation during anesthesia for minimally invasive abdominal surgery.

An EPS system is used to improve the stability and safety of the car when steering while also simplifying the steering process. This article introduces a novel control solution for the EPS system called BSSMCPID. This algorithm combines two nonlinear techniques, BS and SMC, with the input signal corrected by a PID technique.

Background And Objectives: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe neurologic disease resulting from JC virus reactivation in immunocompromised patients. Certain multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are associated with PML risk, such as natalizumab and, more rarely, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators (S1P-RMs). Although natalizumab-associated PML is well documented, information on S1P-RM-associated PML is limited.
