In this work, we apply the high-resolution interference microscopy technique to investigate the intensity and phase of light transmitted through a binary phase element. Using a combination of simulation and experimental results, we identify specific featur ...
Imaging the inner ear microanatomy is of great importance for the assessment of the state of the cells responsible for sound detection. Hearing disorders are mainly due to a malfunction of the cochlea, the bone containing the cells inside the inner ear. Un ...
Microscopy is of high interest for biology since it allows imaging features that are too small to
be seen with naked eyes. However, cells are mostly transparent to visible and infrared light
which makes it difficult to see with a traditional microscope. To ...
Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating cells and tissues. QPI operates on unlabelled specimens and, as such, is complementary to established fluorescence microscopy, exhibiting lower phototoxicity and no photobl ...
Retinal imaging is routinely used to provide information about vision health. Recent studies showed that retinal images can also provide information on general health (e.g. stress level), brain pathologies and attention. Depending on the target information ...
Optical tomography has been widely investigated for biomedical imaging applications. In recent years, it has been combined with digital holography and has been employed to produce high quality images of phase objects such as cells. In this Thesis, we look ...
Walking is often taken for granted or considered as an ancillary activity. Little is known about the distribution of walking in contemporary populations, and even less about the few people who walk for an hour or more in public space on most days of the we ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Surgery is the first choice therapeutic approach in case of drug-resistant epilepsy. Unfortunately, up to 43% of patients referred for presurgical assessment do not have a lesion detectable by routine 3T magnetic resonance imaging ( ...
Structural and functional imaging of cells, tissues and organisms is crucial for understanding biomedical processes. Fluorescence microscopy is an established tool and has contributed to many discoveries in the life sciences. This technique provides molecu ...
