Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy01:18

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...
Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Dermatology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Assessing skin biomechanical properties via imaging is crucial in dermatology.
  • Optical coherence elastography (OCE) measures elastic properties by detecting tissue displacement.
  • In vivo OCE is challenged by bulk tissue movement, limiting diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an Optical Coherence Elastography (OCE) system mitigating bulk tissue movement effects.
  • To enable precise measurement of skin mechanical properties for clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • A novel two-beam OCE system was designed to simultaneously measure displacement at two points.
  • Surface acoustic waves (SAW) generated by a piezoelectric transducer probed tissue rigidity.
  • Phase delay analysis of SAW between two beams allowed for movement artifact cancellation.

Main Results:

  • The two-beam OCE system effectively minimized bulk tissue movement artifacts.
  • System characterization was performed on tissue phantoms and healthy volunteer skin.
  • An approximately 50-fold increase in phase sensitivity was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • A simple, effective two-beam OCE system was developed to overcome movement challenges.
  • This technology holds promise for clinical monitoring, particularly for systemic sclerosis progression.
