Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
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...

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines01:21

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines

6.9K
Amines can behave as Brønsted–Lowry bases by accepting a proton from the acid to form corresponding conjugate acids. Due to a lone pair of nonbonding electrons, aliphatic amines can also act as Lewis bases by forming a covalent bond with an electrophile.
To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...

Basic Operations on Signals

1.1K
Basic signal operations include time reversal, time scaling, time shifting, and amplitude transformations. These operations are fundamental in signal processing and analysis.
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.

Basic Concept

6.2K
Engineering mechanics is a branch of engineering that studies motion and the forces acting on objects. It is a fundamental subject and forms the basis of many other engineering disciplines. Length, time, mass, and force are some basic concepts in engineering mechanics.
Length, which measures the distance traveled by an object, is a fundamental concept in engineering mechanics. We use coordinates relative to a reference point to describe the distance. Length not only helps to describe the...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Visual Science

Background:

  • Assessing visual function in newborns is crucial for early detection of potential issues.
  • Contrast sensitivity function (CSF) provides detailed information about visual perception.
  • Standardized methods are needed for reliable neonatal visual assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a 0.083 cycles per degree (cy/deg) square-wave stimulus for measuring newborn contrast sensitivity.
  • To determine if the newborn infant's contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is band-pass.
  • To compare the method of constant stimuli (MCS) and descending method of limits (dLIM) for neonatal visual assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Across-subjects experimental design with healthy newborn infants.
  • Pilot experiment utilized MCS for visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.
  • Main experiment employed dLIM for visual acuity and contrast sensitivity at 0.083 and 0.301 cy/deg.

Main Results:

  • A band-pass CSF best fit the data, peaking near 0.22 cy/deg.
  • The 0.083 cy/deg stimulus slightly underestimated peak performance (<0.15 log10 units).
  • MCS and dLIM yielded comparable results when accounting for stimulus presentation protocols.

Conclusions:

  • A 0.083 cy/deg square-wave target is suitable for measuring newborn contrast sensitivity.
  • MCS and dLIM are comparable methods for neonatal visual assessment.
  • These findings facilitate clinical behavioral measurement of infant visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.
