Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars

Eric Gérard Guy Paic

Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...

Sparse Linear Inversion for Strong Gravitational Lenses Reconstruction, Component Separation from Morphological Component Analysis with Multiple Discrimination Criteria

Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational is a natural phenomenon that produces distorted images of distant galaxies due to massive galaxies or clusters, called deflectors or lenses, lying along the line of sight. Due to the mass of the deflector, and as a result of general re ...

TimeRank: A dynamic approach to rate scholars using citations

Giovanni Colavizza

Rating has become a common practice of modern science. No rating system can be considered as final, but instead several approaches can be taken, which magnify different aspects of the fabric of science. We introduce an approach for rating scholars which us ...

On the Limits of Precision Glass Molding for Diffractive Optical Elements

Karin Prater

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) consist of surface reliefs with dimensions in the micrometer range and nanometer precision. Two technologies dominate: Elements replicated in plastic and directly microfabricated elements in fused silica. Plastic DOEs ar ...

Determination of sub-diffraction-limited organelles and biomolecules using microsphere lenses in combination with fluorescence microscopy

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Hui Yang, Norman Lionel Moullan

We propose the use of a high-refractive index glass microsphere in combination with a conventional fluorescence microscope for imaging sub-cellular organelles and biomolecules. The microsphere is placed on a sample that is immersed in water, collects the n ...

Optical microscopy using a glass microsphere for metrology of sub-wavelength nanostructures

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Hui Yang

A technique that allows direct optical imaging of nanostructures and determines quantitatively geometric nanofeatures beyond the classical diffraction limit by using high-refractive index glass microspheres is introduced. The glass microsphere is put on a ...

Switchable telescopic contact lens

We present design and first demonstration of optics for a telescopic contact lens with independent optical paths for switching between normal and magnified vision. The magnified optical path incorporates a telescopic arrangement of positive and negative an ...

Application of Adaptive Optics to Focusing and Imaging

Adaptive optics is used to abate aberrations with a wavefront correction. It is widely used in astronomy and is starting to expand into applications of laser focusing and imaging with high numerical apertures, e.g. microscopy. The physical background of fo ...

Lensless high-resolution on-chip optofluidic microscopes for Caenorhabditis elegans and cell imaging

Demetri Psaltis

Low-cost and high-resolution on-chip microscopes are vital for reducing cost and improving efficiency for modern biomedicine and bioscience. Despite the needs, the conventional microscope design has proven difficult to miniaturize. Here, we report the impl ...

Comparison of unmonochromatized synchrotron radiation and conventional X-rays in the imaging of mammographic phantom and human breast specimens: A preliminary result

Giorgio Margaritondo

A simple imaging setup based on the principle of coherence-based contrast X-ray imaging with unmonochromatized synchrotron radiation was used for studying mammographic phantom and human breast specimens. The use of unmonochromatized synchrotron radiation s ...

Détecteur de tridents dans les émulsions photographiques nucléaires

The direct creation of an electron-positron pair by a high-energy charged particle manifests itself in a certain type of track configuration which is known as a 'trident'. A device for automatic scanning and detection of 'tridents' in nuclear emulsion is d ...
