It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

57.3K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)

1.4K
Heteronuclear single-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HSQC) is a 2D NMR technique that reveals one-bond correlations between hydrogen and a heteronucleus. The HSQC experiment is similar to the heteronuclear correlation experiment (HETCOR) but is more sensitive. In the HSQC spectrum, the proton chemical shift is plotted on the horizontal F2 axis, while the 13C chemical shift is plotted on the vertical F1 axis. The corresponding proton and 13C spectra are also shown. The HSQC contour plot does...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

10.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Biophysics
  • Molecular Imaging

Background:

  • Fluorescence imaging is crucial for biological research but often suffers from low contrast due to interfering signals like autofluorescence.
  • Strong fluorescence interference can obscure target molecules, limiting the identification and analysis of structures of interest in bioimaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel microscopy technique capable of substantially eliminating strong fluorescence interference in single-molecule imaging.
  • To enhance the signal-to-interference ratio for improved contrast in fluorescence detection under unfavorable conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed quantum coherent modulation-enhanced single-molecule imaging microscopy (QCME-SMIM).
  • Manipulated the excited-state population probability of single molecules.
  • Utilized periodic modulation of ultrashort pulse pairs and discrete Fourier transform of photon arrival times.

Main Results:

  • Achieved substantial elimination of strong fluorescence interference.
  • Demonstrated decimation of single molecules from strong interference using QCME-SMIM.
  • Enhanced the signal-to-interference ratio by more than 2 orders of magnitude.

Conclusions:

  • QCME-SMIM is a universal technique applicable to organic dyes and biomacromolecules.
  • The method significantly improves image contrast, enabling high-contrast bioimaging.
  • Paves the way for advanced bioimaging applications in complex biological environments.
