Optical nanoparticle sensors for quantitative intracellular imaging.
Real-time measurements of biological/chemical/physical processes, with no interferences, are an ultimate goal for in vivo intracellular studies. To construct intracellular biosensors that meet such a goal, nanoparticle (NP) platforms seem to be most promising, because of their small size and excellent engineerability. This review describes the development of NP-based opical sensors and their in...
متن کاملDevelopment of nanoparticle-based optical sensors for pathogenic bacterial detection
BACKGROUND Pathogenic bacteria contribute to various globally important diseases, killing millions of people each year. Various fields of medicine currently benefit from or may potentially benefit from the use of nanotechnology applications, in which there is growing interest. Disease-related biomarkers can be rapidly and directly detected by nanostructures, such as nanowires, nanotubes, nanopa...
متن کاملQuantitative Imaging of Intracellular Sodium
A fundamental functional principle of animal cells is their ability to store energy across the plasma membrane in form of ion gradients. This is mainly realized by the activity of the Na/K-ATPase, which consumes ATP to establish an inwardly directed gradient for sodium ions. In the brain, the sodium gradient not only drives many transport processes across the plasma membrane, but also provides ...
متن کاملOptical imaging using binary sensors.
This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing an image from 1-bit-quantized measurements, considering a simple but nonconventional optical acquisition model. Following a compressed-sensing design, a known pseudo-random phase-shifting mask is introduced at the aperture of the optical system. The associated reconstruction algorithm is tailored to this mask. Our results demonstrate the feasib...
متن کاملOptical Fiber Sensors Based on Nanoparticle-Embedded Coatings
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in scientific applications has attracted the attention of many researchers in the last few years.The use of NPs can help researchers to tune the physical characteristics of the sensing coating (thickness, roughness, specific area, refractive index, etc.) leading to enhanced sensors with response time or sensitivity better than traditional sensing coatings. Additio...
