The lignification triggered by biotic or abiotic stresses hardens fruits and vegetables and eventually influences their consumer appeal. Extensive prior efforts have been made to unveil the underlying mechanism of flesh lignification, primarily focused o
is conceived to image the polarization properties of biological tissue based on polarization-sensitive detection. High birefringence of the collagen bundle and fibrillose structure of the tendon makes a difference in the propagation constant of each polarized light that passes through the biological...

First, bright field microscopic images of flesh cells of LYQ loquat fruit were acquired using the Renishaw inVia Reflex Raman microscope. Under the light microscopic view, some sclerenchyma cells were found among parenchymal cells in loquat flesh, varying in shapes and sizes (Fig. 2). The walls...
In order to evaluate the safety of a new agent, variety of in vitro cell-based assays is often employed. One feasible strategy to evaluate the potential toxic effects of an unknown compound will be, in the first stage, to evaluate basal cytotoxicity (by using for instance screening assays),...
COMBImage is a fast, modular and instrument independent computational framework for in vitro pairwise drug combination analysis that quantifies temporal changes in label-free video microscopy movies. Jointly with automated analyses of temporal changes in cell morphology and confluence, it performs and ...
We describe a new oblique-incidence reflectivity difference (OI-RD) scanning microscope for high-throughput screening, in microarray format on functionalized glass slides, small-molecule compound libraries for protein ligands. The microscope employs a combination of scan mirror for y-scan and single-...
microplate; a beam splitter to divert a portion of the reflected light; an imaging lens to collect diverted light and to produce an optical image of the at least one sensor of the microplate; and an image sensor for receiving the optical image of the at least one sensor of the microplate...
Patients worldwide require therapeutic transfusions of packed red blood cells (pRBCs), which is applied to the high-risk patients who need periodic transfusions due to leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood diseases or disorders. Contrary to the gen
A two-dimensional scout X-ray image taken with the same detector in transmission mode could allow more accurate target localization prior to the start of the sSAXS acquisition. A three-dimensional scout image using a fast (under-sampled) accessory computed tomography setup could provide additional ...
