Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

7.9K
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...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy01:05

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

10.9K
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.

Interference and Diffraction02:18

Interference and Diffraction

51.3K
Interference is a characteristic phenomenon exhibited by waves. When two electromagnetic waves interact with their peaks and troughs coinciding, a resulting wave with enhanced amplitude is produced. This is known as constructive interference. In this case, the two waves interacting are in phase with each other.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction01:07

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.7K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview01:13

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

1.0K
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Medical Imaging
    • Optical Physics

    Background:

    • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique.
    • Existing forward models for OCT often simplify light-matter interactions.
    • Accurate simulation of OCT signals requires accounting for various optical phenomena.

    • To develop an advanced direct scattering optical coherence tomography forward model.
    • To investigate the impact of absorption, scattering, and multiple reflections on OCT A-scans.
    • To simulate A-scans for both idealized and real light sources on arbitrary sample structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a direct scattering OCT forward model.
    • Incorporated absorption and scattering using the Beer-Lambert law.
    • Modeled multiple reflections using a recursive approach.
    • Tested models on a representative multilayered skin sample structure.

    Main Results:

    • Absorption and scattering significantly influence the amplitude (height) of simulated A-scan peaks.
    • Multiple reflections at interfaces had a negligible effect on peak heights.
    • The positions of A-scan peaks, corresponding to sample interfaces, were unaffected by absorption, scattering, or multiple reflections.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced modeling of optical processes is crucial for accurate OCT simulations.
    • Absorption and scattering are key factors influencing OCT signal intensity.
    • The developed model provides a more comprehensive simulation of OCT A-scans, particularly for complex biological tissues.
