In Vivo Optical Imaging

Synthesis and characterization of CdO/GrO nanolayer for in vivo imaging

Objective(s): Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity. Nanoparticles have enabled significant advances in pre-clinical cancer research as drug delivery vectors. Inorganic nanoparticles such as CdO/GrO nanoparticles have novel optical properties that can be used to optimize the signal-to-background ratio. This paper rep...

I-55: Molecular Imaging Overview

Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...

Determination of experimental Tumor Volume of a mouse using optical imaging system in different processing stages

Electro-Optical Design of Imaging Payload for a Remote Sensing Satellite

Remote sensing using small spacecraft arising from multi-objective economic activity problems is getting more and more developed. These satellites require very accurate pointing to specific locations of interest, with high reliability and small latency. The space borne imaging systems always attempted to achieve the highest ground resolution possible with the available technology at the given t...

Comparative Studies of High Contrast Fluorescence Imaging Efficiency of Silica-coated CdSe Quantum Dots with Green and Red Emission

Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...

Imaging and Analysis of Auto-Ignition and Heavy Knock in a Full Bore Optical SI Engine

The work involved a fundamental study of auto-ignition under unusually high knock intensities for an optical spark ignition engine. The single-cylinder research engine adopted included full bore overhead optical access capable of withstanding continuous peak in-cylinder pressures of up to 150bar. A heavy knock was deliberately induced under relatively low loads using inlet air heating and a pri...
