QUAREP-LiMi: A community-driven initiative to establish guidelines for quality assessment and reproducibility for instruments and images in light microscopy

A modern day light microscope has evolved from a tool devoted to making primarily empirical observations to what is now a sophisticated , quantitative device that is an integral part of both physical and life science research. Nowadays, microscopes are fou ...

A Correlation-Based Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique to Locate Indoor Transient Radiation Sources

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Qi Li

To overcome the multipath interference in locating transient electromagnetic (EM) radiation sources in an indoor environment, we propose a criterion that calculates the correlation between back-propagated signals from observation points, to be used in EM t ...

Optical phase contrast imaging of human retinal cells by changing the tissue refractive index

Christophe Moser, Mathieu Künzi, Timothé Laforest, Laura Emmanuelle Kowalczuk

Purpose : Based on oblique partially coherent illumination of transparent samples, we developed a simple custom Optical Phase Imaging (OPI) microscope providing a label-free, semi-quantitative phase contrast imaging. The aim of this study was to explore th ...

Holographic reconstruction of interlayer distance of bilayer two-dimensional crystal samples from their convergent beam electron diffraction patterns

Tatiana Latychevskaia

Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns of twisted bilayer samples exhibit interference patterns in their CBED spots. Such interference patterns can be treated as off-axis holograms and the phase of the scattered waves, and hence the interlaye ...

3D nanometrology of transparent objects by phase calibration of a basic bright-field microscope for multiple illumination apertures

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Bingying Zhao

Optical retrieval of the structure of transparent objects at the nanoscale requires adapted techniques capable of probing their interaction with light. Here, we considered a method based on calibration of the defocusing with partially coherent illumination ...

Near-field phase profile and far-field contrast modulation for micro-lens arrays at the refraction limit

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi, Daniel Necesal

We investigate the far-field pattern generation for a micro-lens array (MLA) illuminated under different conditions. Plane wave and Gaussian beam illumination are considered for an MLA with a small diameter of 27 microns and 30 microns period. At these dim ...

Neutron Diffraction and Diffraction Contrast Imaging for Mapping the TRIP Effect under Load Path Change

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Efthymios Polatidis, Markus Strobl

The transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect is investigated during a load path change using a cruciform sample. The transformation properties are followed by in-situ neutron diffraction derived from the central area of the cruciform sample. Additio ...

Development of novel experimental and computational methods for three-dimensional coherent and super-resolution microscopy

Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux

Optical microscopy is one widely used tool to study cell functions and the interaction of molecules at a sub-cellular level. Optical microscopy techniques can be broadly divided into two categories: partially coherent and incoherent. Coherent microscopy te ...

Light pattern generation with hybrid refractive microoptics under Gaussian beam illumination

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

The generation of wide-angle diffraction patterns can be done in different ways using either thin diffractive optical elements with small features sizes or arrays of microoptics with large optical paths that are thick diffractive optical elements. Our aim ...

Absolute Structure from Scanning Electron Microscopy

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

The absence of centrosymmetry in chiral and polar crystal structures is the reason for many technical relevant physical properties like optical birefringence or ferroelectricity. Other chirality related properties that are actually intensively investigated ...
