(author)Around 90% of the oceanic and inland waters’ reflectance registered in satellite detectors comes from the atmospheric contribution. Hence the water-leaving radiances in the Near-InfraRed (NIR) region are above the zero value over inland waters because of sediments and dissolved organic particles, this radiance cannot be ignored. To accurately...journal article 2024

Voltage Imaging with Engineered Proton-Pumping Rhodopsins: Insights from the Proton Transfer PathwayMeng, X. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), van Roemburg, Lars (author), Post, M.G. (author), Brinks, D. (author)Voltage imaging using genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) has taken the field of neuroscience by storm in the past decade. Its ability to create subcellular and network level readouts of electrical dynamics depends critically on the kinetics of the response to voltage of the indicator used. Engineered microbial rhodopsins form a...review 2023
