An experimental setup has been built to correct the errors caused by overlapping 'ghost' images when scanning and integrating measurements are carried out with the Jamin-Libedef interference microscope. First a reference field with the object, producing the 'ghost' image, is scanned and the values of the optical path difference (OPD) of each point in the reference field are stored in a computer. Subsequently, the OPD of the object to be measured is calculated for each point by adding the measuring result to the average OPD of five points, located around the corresponding point in the reference field. The applicability of the setup has been tested by measurements with Sepharose beads, Hela cells and the Zeiss microinterference refractometer. The difference between measurements on the same object with and without overlapping 'ghost' image was about 10%. The reproducibility was tested by repeated measurements on the same cell whereby a standard deviation of 1.1% was found.

The intelligent identification of wear particles in ferrography is a critical bottleneck that hampers the development and widespread adoption of ferrography technology. To address challenges such as false detection, missed detection of small wear particles, difficulty in distinguishing overlapping and similar abrasions, and handling complex image backgrounds, this paper proposes an algorithm called TCBGY-Net for detecting wear particles in ferrography images. The proposed TCBGY-Net uses YOLOv5s as the backbone network, which is enhanced with several advanced modules to improve detection performance.

PIEZO1 (piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1) is a mechanosensitive ion channel protein. Gain-of-function variants in the gene are known to cause dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS) also termed hereditary xerocytosis. This is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by variable-degree anemia with a tendency toward hemolysis, erythrocyte dehydration and iron overload.

The weakly electric brown ghost knifefish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) exhibits a pronounced sexual dimorphism in its electric behavior-males discharge at higher frequencies than females, with little overlap between the sexes. The frequency of these electric organ discharges is controlled by the frequency of the synchronized oscillations of the medullary pacemaker nucleus. Previous studies have suggested that sex-specific differences in the morphology and gene expression pattern of the astrocytic syncytium that envelopes the pacemaking neural network cause differences in its capacity to buffer the extracellular concentration of K.

Aiming at the problems of a large volume, slow processing speed, and difficult deployment in the edge terminal, this paper proposes a lightweight insulator detection algorithm based on an improved SSD. Firstly, the original feature extraction network VGG-16 is replaced by a lightweight Ghost Module network to initially achieve the lightweight model. A Feature Pyramid structure and Feature Pyramid Network (FPN+PAN) are integrated into the Neck part and a Simplified Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fast (SimSPPF) module is introduced to realize the integration of local features and global features.

Image stitching is a traditional but challenging computer vision task. The goal is to stitch together multiple images with overlapping areas into a single, natural-looking, high-resolution image without ghosts or seams. This article aims to increase the field of view of gastroenteroscopy and reduce the missed detection rate.
