Determining mechanical properties of cell membranes using exposure-time corrected fluctuation spectrum analysis

Implementing a correction to vesicle fluctuation analysis that accomodates non-zero exposure times, analysing the effects of the changes.

Failure mechanisms in lithium silicon batteries

Lithium silicon (Li-Si) batteries offer more than ten times the theoretical specific capacity compared to current lithium ion battery technologies, by using a silicon anode. In practice however, the cycle life of Li-Si batteries is very limited. The large volume change of the silicon anode is known to be the main reason for this. Research on the...

Improving the accuracy in localisation microscopy for samples that consist of straight lines using prior knowledge

We have investigated the possibility of using prior knowledge about a sample in order to improve the image quality of localisation microscopy. We assumed that all fluorescent molecules were aligned on one, or two parallel line segments and used this assumption to develop an estimator for the emitter locations and the line parameters. Using...
