Flame Photometry: Lab01:16

Flame Photometry: Lab

588
In a flame photometer, when a solution like potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind dehydrated salt. This salt dissociates into free gaseous atoms in their ground state. Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame, leading to their excitation. The excited atoms return to the ground state, emitting photons at characteristic wavelengths. Because only electronic transitions are involved, the resulting emission lines are very narrow. The intensity...

Flame Photometry: Overview

1.1K
Flame photometry, also known as flame emission spectrometry, is a technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements present in a sample using a flame as the source of excitation energy. The concept of flame photometry was realized in the early 1860s by Kirchhoff and Bunsen, who discovered that specific elements emit characteristic radiation when excited in flames. The first instrument developed for this purpose was used to measure sodium (Na) in plant ash using a Bunsen...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

11.9K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

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...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

19.3K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

    Area of Science:

    • Combustion Science
    • Optical Diagnostics
    • Image Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Flame chemiluminescence tomography (FCT) is vital for combustion diagnostics but faces challenges due to ill-posed inversion problems and limited optical access.
    • Conventional methods like algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) can produce artifacts, especially in reconstructing continuous chemiluminescence fields.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved FCT algorithm by integrating total variation (TV) regularization with ART.
    • To enhance the accuracy and reduce artifacts in three-dimensional (3D) chemiluminescence distribution recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Combined total variation (TV) regularization with the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) for FCT.
    • Utilized split Bregman iteration for TV minimization.
    • Validated the method through numerical studies under various noise conditions and an experimental FCT system with 12 perspectives.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed algorithm significantly reduced typical line artifacts observed with conventional ART.
    • Both numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the TV-ART approach.
    • Preservation of flame features, such as the flame front, was achieved alongside smoothness.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of TV regularization with ART offers a robust solution for practical FCT applications.
    • This enhanced method improves the quality of 3D chemiluminescence reconstruction, particularly in challenging conditions.
    • The findings contribute to more accurate combustion diagnostics and measurements.
