Multi-plane super-resolution microscopy

Azat Sharipov

Understanding cell functions is the major goal of molecular biology, which intends to elucidate the interactions between biomolecules at a subcellular level. One of the widely used techniques in molecular biology is fluorescence microscopy, which offers hi ...

Photonic Nanojet Array for Fast Detection of Single Nanoparticles in a Flow

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Hui Yang

We detect by optical microscopy Au and fluorescent nanopartides (NPs) during their motion in water based medium, using an array of dielectric microspheres that are patterned in a microwell array template. The Microspheres act as lenses focusing the light o ...

Optical microscopy for imaging through scattering media

Xin Yang

Optical microscopy has been widely used in the life sciences and biological research for several decades. It possesses many advantages over x-ray radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging, in terms of being low cos ...

Optical microscopy for biology and life sciences

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger

Optical microscopy has become a major non- or minimally invasive tool for investigating living organisms such as cells, tissues or small animals. Being such an essential tool for research and because lacking knowledge and insight in the working principles ...

Near-field imaging

Libo Yu

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic waves excited at the interface between a truncated periodic dielectric multilayer and a surrounding medium. This particular solution to the Maxwell equations in stratified media has been known since th ...

Developing luminescent Brownian probes for near-field investigations of the intracellular environment

Flavio Maurizio Mor

Life sciences have a constantly growing need for novel methodological approaches suitable to investigate the intracellular environment with increased temporal and spatial resolutions. Recently, optical near-field probes, such as laser-irradiated pointed me ...

Optical characterization of subwavelength-scale solid immersion lenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We present the fabrication and optical characterization of nano-scale solid immersion lenses (nano-SILs) with sizes down to a subwavelength range. Submicron-scale cylinders fabricated by electron-beam lithography (EBL) are thermally reflowed to form a sphe ...

Investigation of the Electromechanical Properties of Graphene

Mohamed Malik Benameur

This thesis studies the optical and electro-mechanical properties of novel atomically thin crystals. It deals with the carbon based material, graphene, and with layered transition metal dichalcogenides with the common formula MX2. The first part describes ...

Will Privacy Concerns Associated with Future Transport Systems Restrict the Public's Freedom of Movement?

The creation of wide-area real-time monitoring systems for the road network has the potential to achieve a step change in both, our understanding of the evolution of congestion and forecasting/information to minimise its economic consequences. While such c ...

Dark field optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Martin Villiger

The invention relates to an optical coherence microscopy system for fast, phase resolved imaging by means of optical coherence microscopy with decoupled illumination and detection apertures, producing a dark-field effect with an enhanced optical contrast. ...
