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 ...
Single crystals of self-synthesized mordenite−Na were used for incorporation of the cationic dye molecule thionin blue (C12H10N3S+). The planar organic molecule (7.5 × 15 Å), which fits into the large 12-membered ring channel of mordenite, was incorporated ...
In vivo imaging of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled neurons in the intact brain is being used increasingly to study neuronal plasticity. However, interpreting the observed changes as modifications in neuronal connectivity needs information about syn ...
Deconvolution is an image processing technique that restores the effective object representation [3] [4], allowing to improve images analysis steps such as segmentation [1] or colocalization study [2]. We performed several deconvolution tests on different ...
PVA coated and fluorescent dye (Cy3.5) functionalized vinyl alcohol/vinyl amine copolymer coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were evaluated for systemic distribution and elimination after intraarticular injection in sheep. Observatio ...
We present a new, robust algorithm for tracking fluorescent particles in dynamic image sequences obtained by brightfield or confocal microscopy. Specifically, we consider the problem of extracting the movement of chromosomal telomeres within the nucleus of ...
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 ...
The ability to observe axons and dendrites with transmission electron microscopy (EM) after they have been previously imaged live with laser-scanning microscopy is a useful technique to study their synaptic connectivity. This protocol provides a detailed m ...
We present a deformable cell culture system based on dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA). Understanding how the mechanical environment can affect cells functions could lead to significant advances in diseases diagnosis and drug development. Most available ...
