The mechanical, thermal, chemical, physical, water absorption and morphological properties of Borassus flabellifer fibers have also discussed. The researchers have used the Borassus flabellifer fruit fibers, leaf stalk fibers, petiole fibers respectively for composite fabrication. All the parts of the ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, involving complicated cell-matrix interactions. Systematic investigations of dynamic cellular and matrix changes during OA progression are lacking. In this study, we use label-free two-photon excited fluorescence (...
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-...
A compact microplate imaging system, including: a tunable light source; a lens ensemble to collimate the light source onto the microplate and to transmit light that is reflected from the microplate; a
For Raman measurements under a microscope, HCT116 cells were seeded on poly-d-lysine coated glass-bottom dishes (35 × 35 mm) at 2.4 × 104 cells/cm2, and left for 24 h so that they attached firmly on the dishes. Prior to Raman measurements, in order to ...
Mitochondria typically have diameters between 0.5 to 1 µm and lengths up to several micrometers, and hence can be seen under a light microscope. They can be visualized based on the refractive index difference between the organelle and the cytoplasm and their unique shapes. They can also be ...
Water and lipids are key participants in many biological processes, but there are few non-invasive methods that provide quantification of these components in vivo, and none that can isolate and quantify lipids in the blood. Here we develop a new imaging
We reveal a novel design for dye-doped liquid crystal (DDLC) microfluidic biosensing chips in the polydimethylsiloxane material. With this design chip, the orientation of DDLCs was affected by the interface between the walls of the channels and DDLCs. When the inside of a channel was coated ...
reflects the excitation light into a beam expanding telescope (L5, L6), whereas a broadband mirror (M) placed at 45 degrees is used to guide the laser beam into a modified inverted microscope serving as the platform of the hybrid imaging system. An objective lens (OL; Achromat 8X, LOMO, ...
