The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

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...

Light Acquisition

Light Acquisition

In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Introduction to Special Senses

Introduction to Special Senses

Sensory receptors play an integral part in comprehending our external and internal environments. They receive diverse stimuli, converting them into the nervous system's electrochemical signals. This conversion occurs as the stimulus alters the sensory neuron's cell membrane potential, instigating the generation of an action potential. This action potential is subsequently transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), which integrates with other sensory data or higher cognitive...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Microscopy
Neuroscience

Background:

Adaptive optics (AO) is crucial for high-resolution microscopy.
Conventional AO systems can be complex and require guide stars.
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) offers optical sectioning but can suffer from aberrations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simplified adaptive optics light-sheet fluorescence microscope (AO-LSFM) with closed-loop aberration correction.
To improve imaging accuracy and contrast in deep-tissue samples.
To demonstrate a novel AO approach without iterative algorithms or guide stars.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a modified Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for direct wavefront sensing.
Integration of the sensor into an LSFM setup for closed-loop aberration correction in the emission path.
Characterization of the wavefront sensor performance and AO-LSFM system capabilities.

Main Results:

Demonstrated intrinsic instrumental simplicity and high accuracy compared to existing AO schemes.
Achieved significant contrast improvement in neuronal structures within the ex vivo adult Drosophila brain.
Validated the compatibility of the Shack-Hartmann sensor with extended sources from optical sectioning microscopes.

Conclusions:

The proposed AO-LSFM provides an effective and simplified solution for aberration correction in LSFM.
This method enhances imaging depth and clarity for biological samples, such as neural tissues.
The direct wavefront sensing approach reduces complexity and sample preparation requirements.
