Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy01:26

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

11.5K
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...

X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

9.4K
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...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy01:05

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

10.8K
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.

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

1.5K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Light Acquisition02:16

Light Acquisition

9.0K
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.

Sight Distance in a Vertical Curve01:29

Sight Distance in a Vertical Curve

220
Sight distance on vertical curves is critical in roadway design. It ensures drivers can see far enough ahead to identify and respond to hazards effectively. This directly impacts safety, driver comfort, and the overall efficiency of the transportation network.Vertical curves are classified into crest and sag curves based on their geometry. For crest curves, sight distance is determined by the line of sight between a driver's eye and a small object on the road's surface. Design parameters for...

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Computer Vision
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging enables visualization of objects outside the direct line of sight.
  • Diffuse reflections in NLOS scenarios cause signal weakness and loss of directional information, posing a significant challenge.
  • Existing NLOS techniques struggle with large-scale scenes and require extensive measurement points.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an effective method for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging.
  • To overcome the limitations of weak signals and loss of directional information in diffuse reflection environments.
  • To enable the reconstruction of 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) representations of large-scale hidden scenes.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a novel NLOS imaging technique utilizing angular resolution from vertical edges and longitudinal resolution from temporal response of a pulsed light source.
  • Introduced a new acquisition strategy, scene response model, and reconstruction algorithm.
  • Enabled a 180-degree field of view for large-scale scene reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate 2.5D reconstructions of hidden rooms up to 3 meters in each dimension.
  • Achieved high-resolution imaging despite a small scan aperture (1.5 cm radius).
  • Successfully reconstructed scenes using only 45 measurement locations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed NLOS imaging method effectively reconstructs hidden scenes by leveraging vertical edges and temporal responses.
  • The technique offers a practical solution for seeing around corners with a wide field of view and minimal measurements.
  • This advancement has potential applications in autonomous navigation, reconnaissance, and medical imaging.
