Glass-in-glass infiltration for 3D micro-optical composite components

Yves Bellouard, Andreas Mortensen, Jérôme Faist, Enrico Casamenti, Luciano Borasi, Gözden Torun, Mathieu Bertrand

Chalcogenide glass exhibits a wide transmission window in the infrared range, a high refractive index, and nonlinear optical properties; however, due to its poor mechanical properties and low chemical and environmental stability, producing three-dimensiona ...

Optical Diffraction Tomography Using Nearly In-Line Holography with a Broadband LED Source

Demetri Psaltis, Ahmed Ayoub, Abhijit Roy

We present optical tomography methods for a 3D refractive index reconstruction of weakly scattering objects using LED light sources. We are able to record holograms by minimizing the optical path difference between the signal and reference beams while sepa ...

Amplitude and phase reconstruction for Low-Energy Electron Holography of individual proteins

Hannah Julia Ochner

Single-molecule imaging methods are of importance in structural biology, and specifically in the imaging of proteins, since they can elucidate conformational variability and structural changes that might be lost in imaging methods relying on averaging proc ...

SYNAPSE: An international roadmap to large brain imaging

Giorgio Margaritondo

Since 2020, synchrotron radiation facilities in several Asia-Pacific countries have been collaborating in a major project called "SYNAPSE"(Synchrotrons for Neuroscience: an Asia-Pacific Scientific Enterprise). They use x-ray imaging to attack in a coordina ...

Polarization-sensitive optics diffraction tomography

Demetri Psaltis, Ahmed Ayoub, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Amirhossein Saba Shirvan

Polarization of light has been widely used as a contrast mechanism in two-dimensional (2D) microscopy and also in some three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities. In this paper, we report the 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index (RI) tensor ...

In-operando dynamic visualization of flow through porous preforms based on X-ray phase contrast imaging

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Direct visualization is often sought to elucidate flow patterns and validate models to predict the filling kinetics during processes whereby a liquid resin infiltrates a textile porous preform. Here, X-ray phase contrast interferometry is evaluated to imag ...

Quantitative Microstructural Imaging for Clinical Use

Gian Franco Piredda

Today, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-established medical imaging modality thanks to its excellent soft tissue contrast. Conventional MR image contrasts can be weighted towards one or more physical properties that discriminate different tissues ...
