Published: May 2017

The measurement of transient surface photovoltage (SPV) signals in a fixed capacitor arrangement over 12 orders of magnitude in time has been demonstrated for a SnO:F/TiO/InS layer system under high vacuum. For this purpose, a high impedance buffer with a bandwidth above 200 MHz and an effective input resistance of 200-700 TΩ has been developed. Fast separation of photo generated charge carriers within ns and very slow relaxation of SPV signals excited with short laser pulses and the measurement of SPV spectra under continuous illumination with a halogen lamp were demonstrated.

Background: In neuroscience, Ca imaging is a prevalent technique used to infer neuronal electrical activity, often relying on optical signals recorded at low sampling rates (3 to 30 Hz) across multiple neurons simultaneously. This study investigated whether increasing the sampling rate preserves critical information that may be missed at slower acquisition speeds.

Methods: Primary neuronal cultures were prepared from the cortex of newborn pups.

Optical freeform surfaces are widely used in imaging and non-imaging systems due to their high design freedom. In freeform surface manufacturing and assembly, dynamic freeform surface measurement that can guide the next operation remains a challenge. To meet this urgent need, we propose a dynamic interferometric method based on a machine learning-configured deformable mirror (DM).

Cell surface receptors are pivotal to cancer cell transformation, disease progression, metastasis, early detection, targeted therapy, drug responses, and clinical outcomes. Since they coordinate complex signaling communication networks in the tumor microenvironment, mapping the physical interaction partners of cell surface receptors in vivo is vital for understanding their roles, functional states, and suitability as therapeutic targets. Yet traditional methods like immunoprecipitation and affinity purification-mass spectrometry often fail to detect key but weak or transient receptor-protein interactions.

Purpose: To characterize frequency-dependent wave speed dispersion in the human cornea using microliter air-pulse optical coherence elastography (OCE), and to evaluate the applicability of Lamb wave theory for determining corneal elastic modulus using high-frequency symmetric (S0) and anti-symmetric (A0) guided waves in cornea.

Methods: Wave speed dispersion analysis for transient (0.5 ms) microliter air-pulse stimulation was performed in four rabbit eyes ex vivo and compared to air-coupled ultrasound excitation.

: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising treatment for cancer, primarily due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that directly induce tumor cell death. However, the hypoxic microenvironment commonly found within tumors poses a significant challenge by inhibiting ROS production. This study aims to investigate the effect of improving tumor hypoxia on enhancing PDT.
