influence of soil organic matter (som) on the adsorption, desorption and transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) has already been given full investigation in soils. in this paper, confocal laser scanning microscope (clsm) was used to elucidate aqueous leaching of pahs in different types of soil with soil columns, which enhanced understanding on transport of pahs appreciably. four ...

The development of model materials and image processing methods to directly visualize and quantify colloidal rod assembly by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is reported. Monodisperse fluorescent colloidal rods are prepared by the uniaxial extensional deformation of sterically stabilized microspheres at elevated temperatures. The particles are stably dispersed in refractive in...

Recently, in order to elucidate the role of rab3B in porosome, we have observed the incorporation of rab3B in the secretion of GH through porosome under confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Transfected cells with GH-EYFP fusion protein and rab3B-ECFP fusion protein were observed under CLSM, which showed the colocalization of EYFP-GH and ECFP-rab3B in the budding configuration of secretory...

Multiphoton tomography (MPT) is an in vivo imaging technique with very high spatial resolution and efforts are made to combine MPT with other non-invasive imaging methods. The goals of the present study were the description of the features of different dermatological entities as seen in MPT and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) comparison of these two novel techniques and the 'classical...

OBJECTIVES We produced hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining-like color images by using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), which can obtain the same or more information in comparison to conventional tissue staining. METHODS We improved images by using several image converting techniques, including morphological methods, color space conversion methods, and segmentation methods. RESULT...

Lesion-symptom mapping is often employed to define brain structures that are crucial for human behavior. Even though poststroke deficits result from gray matter damage as well as secondary white matter loss, the impact of structural disconnection is overlooked by conventional lesion-symptom mapping because it does not measure loss of connectivity beyond the stroke lesion. This study describes h...

The aim of this study was to investigate the structure of intact oral biofilms using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Mixed-species biofilms were grown on enamel discs in a constant depth film fermentor. The biofilms were fed with a mucin-containing artificial saliva with or without sucrose supplementation. Biofilms were examined using a Wild-Leitz CLSM, operating in reflected light m...

As the conventional disposal method for industrial by-products and wastes, landfills can cause environmental pollution huge economic costs. However, some secondary materials be effectively used to develop novel underground filling materials. Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a highly flowable, controllable, material. The rational use of coal industry prepare CLSM significant in reducin...

This paper addresses the problem of intensity correction of fluorescent confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) images. CLSM images are frequently used in medical domain for obtaining 3D information about specimen structures by imaging a set of 2D cross sections and performing 3D volume reconstruction afterwards. However, the images of optical sections acquired from fluorescent CLSM demonstra...
