In this thesis new imaging approaches for optical microscopy are proposed and studied. They are based on the use of dynamic structured illumination in combination with a demodulation detection concept employing CMOS image detectors. Two particular implemen ...
The present thesis develops some specific aspects of digital holographic microscopy (DHM), namely the effect of shot noise on the phase image accuracy, the use of DHM in micro-tomography and in aberrations evaluation of a microscope objective (MO). DHM is ...
In this study a novel approach for the coating and functionalization of substrates for cell culture and tissue engineering is presented. Glass, silicon, and titanium panes were coated with an ultrathin film (30 ± 5 nm) of reactive star-shaped poly(ethylene ...
A study of the microstructural evolution of Zircaloy-4 (Zy-4) during hot extrusion has been performed on a small scale device mounted on a standard MTS machine. Before extrusion the billets present a Wind-manstätten lamellar microstructure. Additional data ...
Digital holography microscopy (DHM) is an optical microscopy technique which allows recording non-invasively the phase shift induced by living cells with nanometric sensitivity. Here, we exploit the phase signal as an indicator of dry mass (related to the ...
A new class of molecules for the preparation of self-assembling biomaterials were synthesized. These molecules consist of a cholesteryl-moiety attached via an oligo(ethylene oxide) or oligo(L-lactic acid) segment to a biologically relevant headgroup. The o ...
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is an optical microscopy whose resolution is not bound to the diffraction limit. It provides chemical information based upon spectral, polarization and/or fluorescence contrast images. Details as small as 20 nm ...
The phase equilibria of the ternary Al-AlCo-AlNi system were investigated around the decagonal phase. Isopleths with 70, 71.5 and 72.5 at.% Al and with 10 and 13 at.% Ni are elaborated with the aid of differential thermoanalysis, magnetothermal analysis, o ...
