AI Article Synopsis

  • Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has a limited ability to refocus due to the microscope objective used, which is explored through both theoretical and experimental studies.
  • A new method is introduced that combines wavefront coding with bicubic interpolation and extrapolation iteration to enhance the refocus depth range.
  • With this approach, the refocus depth range can be increased from 0.9 mm to 1.5 mm, offering significant improvements for high-resolution imaging in DHM.

Article Abstract

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) suffers from a limited refocus depth range due to the employed microscope objective. The relationship between the refocus depth range of the DHM system and its optical parameters is studied theoretically and experimentally, and a method is proposed that combines wavefront coding with bicubic interpolation and extrapolation iteration to extend the refocus depth range. For obtaining a uniform point spread function on the refocus plane, a propagator kernel in numerical reconstruction is multiplied by a numerical logarithmic phase mask, and a deviation of the refocus distance is made. To improve the resolution of the refocused image, the size of the hologram is doubly enlarged. This approach can extend the refocus depth range from 0.9 up to 1.5 mm. This work provides important guidance for high-resolution imaging with a large refocus depth range in DHM.

Article Synopsis
  • Anemia prevalence among women of reproductive age in Mexico fluctuated from 16.4% in 2006 to 11.6% in 2012, then rose to 18.3% in 2016, with little clarity on underlying causes.
  • A systematic assessment analyzed survey data from 2006, 2012, and 2018, highlighting that factors such as household wealth, urban living, and past pregnancies significantly influenced hemoglobin levels.
  • The study revealed ongoing regional and economic inequities, a decrease in funding for nutrition programs, and cultural challenges that necessitate enhanced focus on poverty alleviation and better family planning measures, particularly for young women.

Background: Attitudes toward informed consent for research on medical practices has been little investigated in Greece in the general population as well as in health care students and professionals, and at the same time, undergraduate and postgraduate curricula with focus on informed consent issues are entirely missing.

Methods: To explore attitudes toward informed consent for research on medical practices among students, doctors, and laypeople in Greece across several demographic variables. A total of 380 participants (180 first-year healthcare university students from various faculties including medicine, pharmacy, biology, nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery, health care engineers, 100 medical doctors of various specialties working in hospitals and private practice, and 100 laypeople) completed a survey questionnaire along with a detailed demographics questionnaire.

Terahertz time-domain imaging targets the reconstruction of the full electromagnetic morphology of an object. In this spectral range, the near-field propagation strongly affects the information in the space-time domain in items with microscopic features. While this often represents a challenge, as the information needs to be disentangled to obtain high image fidelity, here, we show that such a phenomenon can enable three-dimensional microscopy.

Since the paradigm shift in 2009 from pseudo-thermal ghost imaging (GI) to computational GI using a spatial light modulator, computational GI has enabled image formation via a single-pixel detector and thus has a cost-effective advantage in some unconventional wave bands. In this Letter, we propose an analogical paradigm known as computational holographic ghost diffraction (CH-GD) to shift ghost diffraction (GD) from classical to computational by using self-interferometer-assisted measurement of field correlation functions rather than intensity correlation functions. More than simply "seeing" the diffraction pattern of an unknown complex volume object with single-point detectors, CH-GD can retrieve the diffracted light field's complex amplitude and can thus digitally refocus to any depth in the optical link.
