The topic of this thesis is the development of new algorithmic reconstruction methods for quantitative phase imaging (QPI). In the past decade, advanced QPI has emerged as a valuable tool to study label-free biological samples and uncover their 3D structur ...
The accurate identification of the three-dimensional quantitative shape of a cell nucleus is now possible without fluorescent staining by applying computational segmentation to refractive index tomograms recorded in the flow cytometry mode. ...
The present invention is related to an endoscopic system for phase imaging, comprising a multicore waveguide (080), an optical system comprising at least one first light source (002), for illuminating the sample to be examined, a first camera (010) that is ...
The magnetic force microscope (MFM) is an established experimental tool for imaging stray fields with high spatial resolution and sensitivity. The MFM contrast can however contain contributions from the sample topography, variations in the surface Kelvin p ...
This manuscript reports on the application of copper thermal spraying in the manufacturing process of an electrical connection between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting magnets of fusion reactors. The joint is realized through diffusion bonding of the spray ...
A suite of four drug deliverance formulations grounded on 5-fluorouracil enclosed in a chitosan-founded intercellular substance was produced by 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal with in situ hydrogelation. The formulations have been examined from a morphological ...
Optical microscopy, an invaluable tool in biology and medicine to observe and quantify cellular function, organ development, or disease mechanisms, requires constant trade-offs between spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution, invasiveness, acquisition t ...
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 ...
The organisation of molecules into dynamic cells, and collaboration of many of those cells over a billion years led to the evolution of human life. During the last century, biologists then began to unravel the marvels of cellular organisation with ever inc ...
