Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

11.4K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

X-ray Imaging

10.7K
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...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.1K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Quantum Imaging

    Background:

    • Ghost imaging (GI) is an advanced optical technique.
    • The quality of GI is influenced by the properties of the light source used.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of shaped incoherent sources on ghost imaging quality.
    • To derive the point-spread function formula for GI systems with shaped sources.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of the point-spread function formula for GI systems.
    • Analysis of different source types: Gaussian Schell-model, cosine-Gaussian Schell-model, and cosh-Gaussian Schell-model.
    • Evaluation of GI performance under simulated atmospheric turbulence.

    Main Results:

    • The point-spread function is determined by the Fourier transform of the source intensity distribution.
    • Cosine-Gaussian Schell-model sources degrade GI quality compared to Gaussian Schell-model sources.
    • Cosh-Gaussian Schell-model sources improve GI quality and resolution, even in the presence of atmospheric turbulence.

    Conclusions:

    • Shaped incoherent sources offer a method to control and enhance ghost imaging quality.
    • The cosh-Gaussian Schell-model source is particularly effective for improving image resolution and quality in GI systems.
    • This research has implications for improving imaging performance in challenging environments.
