Fluorescence imaging for whole slide scanning using LED-based color sequential illumination

In the field of pathology there is an ongoing transition to the use of Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) systems which scan tissue slides at intermediate resolution (0∼.25 μm) and high throughput (15mm²=min) to digital image files. Most scanners currently on the market are line-sensor based push-broom scanners for three-color (RGB)...

Single Fibre Pullout from Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Hybrid fiber reinforcement can be very efficient for improving the tensile response of the composite. In such materials, fibers of different geometries can act as bridging mechanisms over cracks of different widths. The fiber bridging efficiency depends on the interface properties, which makes interface characterization very important. Therefore...
