Abstract:
Real-time two-dimensional pH imaging has become possible with the development of a new type of potentiometry, by which the pH distribution can be visualized as pH images with submillimeter spatial resolution. The measurement time for one image is short enough for practical use. The transient change of pH distribution generated by the protons released from a single cation-exchange resin was observed and visualized as the pH images. From the pH images, the evaluation of the resin performance was also carried out.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
