STED microscope with Spiral Phase Contrast
Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy enables superresolution imaging of fluorescently marked nano-structures in vivo. Biological investigations are often hindered by the difficulty of relating super-resolved structures to other non-labeled features. Here we demonstrate that the similarity in optical design of Spiral Phase Contrast (SPC) and STED microscopes allows straightforward imp...
متن کاملHalo-free Phase Contrast Microscopy
We present a new approach for retrieving halo-free phase contrast microscopy (hfPC) images by upgrading the conventional PC microscope with an external interferometric module, which generates sufficient data for reversing the halo artifact. Acquiring four independent intensity images, our approach first measures haloed phase maps of the sample. We solve for the halo-free sample transmission fun...
متن کاملPhase singularities and termination of spiral wave reentry.
INTRODUCTION Recent defibrillation studies show that electric fields interact with reentrant activity in myocardial tissue through virtual electrode polarization (VEP). This study focuses on determining how VEP relates to the creation and survival of postshock phase singularities in cardiac tissue and demonstrating that interactions between VEP and preshock tissue state engender the probabilist...
متن کاملPhase Singularities and Termination of Spiral Wave Reentry
In order to elucidate the mechanisms by which a strong shock terminates reentrant wavefronts, we employed phase analysis techniques to study phase singularity dynamics in a finite element model of cardiac tissue. We located postshock phase singularities and traced their movement and survival for sixteen monophasic shocks applied at different times during the rotation of a spiral wave. Our analy...
متن کاملRapid cardiac-output measurement with ungated spiral phase contrast.
An ungated spiral phase-contrast (USPC) method was used to measure cardiac output (CO) rapidly and conveniently. The USPC method, which was originally designed for small peripheral vessels, was modified to assess CO by measuring flow in the ascending aorta (AA). The modified USPC used a 12-interleaf spiral trajectory to acquire full-image data every 283 ms with 2-mm spatial resolution. The tota...
