Article Abstract

The stripe of the tropical freshwater fish "neon tetra" consists of many iridophores, in which tilted reflecting platelets are periodically arranged. The neon tetra has structural coloration and changes the color of a stripe in response to the surrounding conditions. The mechanism of the color change is thought to be controlling a slant angle of the platelets and changing the spacing between the platelets. This paper considers a slanted dielectric grating modeled on an iridophore of neon tetra, and formulates the matrix eigenvalues method as an analytical method for the three-dimensional scattering problem of a slanted grating having a grating vector. Calculating the reflection spectrum using the matrix eigenvalues method, the chromatic coordinates in standard red-green-blue color space, and the chromaticity coordinates for a slanted grating, it is shown that the color changes depending on the slant angles numerically.

Carbon fiber (CF) has been widely used in aerospace, military, infrastructure, sports, and leisure fields owing to its excellent mechanical properties, superior corrosion and friction resistances, excellent thermal stability, and lightweight. However, the ultrablack appearance derived from the extremely strong absorption of light throughout the entire visible region makes it difficult to satisfy the aesthetic and pleasurable demands of the colorful world and limits their applications in a broader field. Herein, inspired by the , a double-layer ultrathin AlO/TiO composite structure was fabricated on CFs by the atomic layer deposition method.

Rapid Acquisition of High-Pixel Fluorescence Lifetime Images of Living Cells via Image Reconstruction Based on Edge-Preserving Interpolation.

Biosensors (Basel)

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) has established itself as a pivotal tool for investigating biological processes within living cells. However, the extensive imaging duration necessary to accumulate sufficient photons for accurate fluorescence lifetime calculations poses a significant obstacle to achieving high-resolution monitoring of cellular dynamics. In this study, we introduce an image reconstruction method based on the edge-preserving interpolation method (EPIM), which transforms rapidly acquired low-resolution FLIM data into high-pixel images, thereby eliminating the need for extended acquisition times.
