Recent advancements in image-scanning microscopy have significantly enriched super-resolution biological research, providing deeper insights into cellular structures and processes. However, current image-scanning techniques often require complex instrumentation and alignment, constraining their broader applicability in cell biological discovery and convenient, cost-effective integration into commonly used frameworks like epi-fluorescence microscopes. Here, we introduce three-dimensional multifocal scanning microscopy (3D-MSM) for super-resolution imaging of cells and tissue with substantially reduced instrumental complexity. This method harnesses the inherent 3D movement of specimens to achieve stationary, multi-focal excitation and super-resolution microscopy through a standard epi-fluorescence platform. We validated the system using a range of phantom, single-cell, and tissue specimens. The combined strengths of structured illumination, confocal detection, and epi-fluorescence setup result in two-fold resolution improvement in all three dimensions, effective optical sectioning, scalable volume acquisition, and compatibility with general imaging and sample protocols. We anticipate that 3D-MSM will pave a promising path for future super-resolution investigations in cell and tissue biology.

Multifocal metalenses are effective elements for longitudinal light field modulation and have important applications in long-focal depth imaging and three-dimensional display. However, the forward design method is subject to destructive interference generated by phase discontinuity, and cannot achieve high-efficiency, tunable multifocal metalenses. Therefore, we propose an efficient and tunable inverse design framework based on the adjoint method and gradient strategy, transforming light field modulation into mathematical optimization of nonlinear constraints.

Through this editorial, we have attempted to provide an update on the changing scenario for breast cancer surgery in Iraq by describing giant steps toward the adoption of new treatments. One factor to consider is the general trend towards neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in regions such as Kurdistan, which indicates a preference for these minimally invasive approaches. Additionally, new perspectives on multifocal breast cancer in Baghdad demonstrate that BCS can be effective, with local recurrence rates comparable to mastectomy.

Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) are the most common precursors of pancreatic cancer, but their small size and inaccessibility in humans make them challenging to study. Critically, the number, dimensions and connectivity of human PanINs remain largely unknown, precluding important insights into early cancer development. Here, we provide a microanatomical survey of human PanINs by analysing 46 large samples of grossly normal human pancreas with a machine-learning pipeline for quantitative 3D histological reconstruction at single-cell resolution.

Variation of multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) data presentation in existing scientific publications is a challenge for eye care practitioners to apply the scientific information for evidence-based practice in patient management. This review offers an overview of the mfERG data presentation types. Eight types of data presentation in the form of a table, scatter plot, line graph, bar graph/box plot, single waveform/a group of waveforms, trace array topography, three-dimensional topography, and two-dimensional topography are identified.
