The Kubic FLOTAC microscope (KFM): a new compact digital microscope for helminth egg counts

Compact in-line lensfree digital holographic microscope

Phase imaging provides intensity contrast to visualize transparent samples such as found in biology without any staining. Among them, digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a well-known quantitative phase method. Lensfree implementations of DHMs offer the added advantage to provide large field of views (several mm2 compared to several hundred μm2) and more compact setups that traditional DHM w...

Robust, compact implementation of an off-axis digital holographic microscope.

Recent advances in digital technologies, such as high-speed computers and large-format digital imagers, have led to a burgeoning interest in the science and engineering of digital holographic microscopy (DHM). Here we report on a novel off-axis DHM, based on a twin-beam optical design, which avoids the limitations of prior systems, and provides many advantages, including compactness, intrinsic ...

A new microscope for the kidney: mathematics.

The discovery of the microscope in the late 17th century revealed otherwise invisible processes, and revolutionized biology. Years later, mathematics has the potential to do the same. We will highlight recent studies that utilize computational modeling techniques to investigate kidney function. Like a microscope, mathematical models offer a variety of “magnification levels” that focus on differ...

A new operating microscope for ocular surgery.

Digital dynamic telepathology-the Virtual Microscope

The Virtual Microscope is being designed as an integrated computer hardware and software system that generates a highly realistic digital simulation of analog, mechanical light microscopy. We present our work over the past year in meeting the challenges in building such a system. The enhancements we made are discussed, as well as the planned future improvements. Performance results are provided...
