Optical microscopy: emerging methods and applications

Emerging Optical CDMA Techniques and Applications

In this paper we present an in-depth review on the trends and the directions taken by the researchers worldwide in Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems. We highlight those trends and features that are believed to be essential to the successful introduction of various OCDMA techniques in communication systems and data networks in near future. In particular we begin by giving a c...

Fluorescence microscopy: established and emerging methods, experimental strategies, and applications in immunology.

Cutting-edge biophysical technologies including total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, single molecule fluorescence, single channel opening events, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, high-speed exposures, two-photon imaging, fluorescence lifetime imaging, and other tools are becoming increasingly important in immunology as they link molecular events to cellular physiology, a ke...

Sequential Methods and Their Applications

Coherent Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography for Biomedical Applications

In recent years many new methods of 3D optical imaging have been introduced that are applicable to the study of microand nano-scale flows. Coherent microscopy and optical coherence tomography join more established methods such as coherence scanning interferometry and confocal microscopy. These methods are very closely related and, using linear systems theory, can be compared in terms of their p...

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
