Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.3K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

X-ray Imaging

7.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics
  • Physics

Background:

  • Ultrafast time-resolved methods are crucial for studying transient phenomena in materials.
  • X-ray free-electron lasers provide intense, ultrafast pulses for advanced material studies.

Main Methods:

  • A holographic measurement scheme inspired by Newton's 'dusty mirror' experiment was employed.
  • The sample was positioned near an X-ray mirror to enable reflected probing.
  • Time delay was encoded in the diffraction pattern, achieving femtosecond accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The technique successfully monitored the X-ray-induced explosion of microscopic polystyrene spheres.
  • An explosion phenomenon was observed occurring significantly after the initial X-ray pulse.
