Maddalena, L. (author), Pozzi, Paolo (author), Ceffa, Nicolò G. (author), Hoeven, Bas van der (author), Carroll, E.C.M. (author)Light-sheet microscopy is a powerful method for imaging small translucent samples in vivo, owing to its unique combination of fast imaging speeds, large field of view, and low phototoxicity. This chapter briefly reviews state-of-the-art technology for variations of light-sheet microscopy. We review recent examples of optogenetics in...book chapter 2023

Inamdar, A.S. (author), Gromala, Przemyslaw Jakub (author), Prisacaru, Alexandru (author), Kabakchiev, Alexander (author), Yang, Yu Hsiang (author), Han, Bongtae (author)Epoxy molding compound (EMC) is widely used for encapsulating automotive electronics. Among all of the components of an electronic package, EMC is most exposed to the atmosphere, and thus undergoes aging. During high-temperature operation, EMC is oxidized, which alters its mechanical properties, and thus can affect the reliability of electronic...book chapter 2022

(author)In previous publications we have shown that we can perform enzymatic reactions in nanoarrays by means of a microarray-reader based on a conventional microscope. In this publication we report on a modification of this system in order to monitor the aggregation kinetics of the natively unfolded protein ?-synuclein. We describe the motivation for...conference paper 2005

(author)Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a promising candidate for accurate assessment of metrology and defects on wafers and masks, however it has traditionally been too slow for high-throughput applications, although recent developments have significantly pushed the speed of SPM [1,2]. In this paper we present new results obtained with our...conference paper 2014

(author)The recently introduced helium ion microscope (HIM) is capable of imaging and fabrication of nanostructures thanks to its sub-nanometer sized ion probe [1,2]. The unique interaction of the helium ions with the sample material provides very localized secondary electron emission, thus providing a valuable signal for high-resolution imaging as well...conference paper 2010

Dietrich, H.R.C. (author), Young, I.T. (author), Garini, Y. (author)The study of DNA-protein interactions is gaining increased attention due to their importance in cellular processes. Only a well-functioning interaction guaranties that such a process can take place without errors. So far, only a small percentage of these interactions have been unraveled, partially due to their complexity but also due to the fact...conference paper 2006

Stallinga, S. (author)Localization microscopy for imaging at the nano-scale relies on the quality of fitting the emitter positions from the measured light spots. The type and magnitude of the noise in the detection process, the background light level and the Point Spread Function model that is used in the fit are of paramount importance for the precision and accuracy...conference paper 2015

(author)Recently, an extraordinary transmission of light through small holes (<200 nm) in a thin metallic film has been described. This phenomenon has been shown to be the result of the photon-plasmon interaction in thin films where a periodic structure (such as a set of holes) is embedded in the film. One of the extraordinary results is that the beam...conference paper 2004

These sources have been essential in the development of fluorescence microscopy but each can have serious disadvantages: lack of near monochromaticity, heat generation, cost, lifetime of the light source, and possible distortions due to...conference paper 2004

Müller, M. (author), Schins, J.M. (author), Wurpel, G.W.H. (author)In multiplex CARS microscopy the generated anti-Stokes signal is generated and detected simultaneously over a significant part of the vibrational spectrum. The signal-to-noise ratio of the thus detected spectra is limited only by shot-noise. This principle is demonstrated using a dilution series of 2-propanol in water. It is derived...conference paper 2004

(author), Zaal, M. (author)While fluorescence microscope systems remains an essential tool in modern biology and medical work, no compact instrumentation has been developed for the rapid calibration of such systems. Almost invariably results are presented in terms of the [AU], "arbitrary units". To remedy this situation we have developed a small, portable instrument - the...conference paper 2006

Docter, M.W. (author), Young, I.T. (author), Kutchoukov, V.G. (author), Bossche, A. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author), Garini, Y. (author)When light passes through a hole smaller than the wavelength of the light, the transmission is very low and the light is diffracted. This however changes if holes are arranged in a periodic array on metal. In that case the light couples to surface plasmons; this results in enhanced transmission, spectral selection and a small angular diffraction...conference paper 2005

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...conference paper 2001
