Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Psychology
Food Science

Background:

Growing interest in food processing and eating behaviors due to biological relevance, complex food environments, and health costs.
Limited availability of comprehensive, validated stimulus databases for independent research.
Need for accessible tools to study human-food interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the FoodCast Research Image Database (FRIDa), a novel, validated image collection.
To provide researchers with a freely available resource for studying food-related behaviors.
To facilitate research across various academic fields and industries.

Main Methods:

Compilation of 877 images across eight categories: natural-food, transformed-food, rotten-food, natural-non-food, artificial food-related objects, artificial objects, animals, and scenes.
Validation of the database with 73 healthy participants on standard variables (valence, familiarity) and food-specific variables (perceived calorie content).
Inclusion of visual feature data (brightness, high frequency power) for each stimulus.

Main Results:

The FoodCast Research Image Database (FRIDa) comprises 877 validated images.
Data includes participant ratings (valence, familiarity, calorie content) and stimulus visual features.
The database is well-controlled, flexible, and validated.

Conclusions:

FRIDa is a comprehensive, validated, and freely accessible image database.
It serves as a valuable tool for researchers investigating food processing and eating behaviors.
The resource supports diverse research in neuroscience, psychology, and industry.
