  Abstract:Fluorescence nanoscopy has become an indispensable tool for studying organelle structures, protein dynamics, and interactions in biological sciences. Single-molecule localization microscopy can now routinely achieve 10–50 nm resolution through fluorescently labeled specimens in lateral optical sections. However, visualizing structures organized along the axial direction demands scanning and imaging each of the lateral imaging planes with fine intervals throughout the whole cell. This iterative process suffers from photobleaching of tagged probes, is susceptible to alignment artifacts and also limits the imaging speed. Here, we focused on the axial plane super-resolution imaging which integrated the single-objective light-sheet illumination and axial plane optical imaging with single-molecule localization technique to resolve nanoscale cellular architectures along the axial (or depth) dimension without scanning. We demonstrated that this method is compatible with DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) and exchange-PAINT by virtue of its light-sheet illumination, allowing multiplexed super-resolution imaging throughout the depth of whole cells. We further demonstrated this proposed system by resolving the axial distributions of intracellular organelles such as microtubules, mitochondria, and nuclear pore complexes in both COS-7 cells and glioblastoma patient-derived tumor cells. © 2019 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement.

  Abstract:Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis is an important tool for health monitoring. A non-invasive smart health monitoring system based on optical fiber interferometer can get HRV information from the Ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal. For some patients, the HRV can hardly be calculated due to the interferences from breath and other vibrations. In this research, we obtain a stable and high-sensitive BCG signal by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based sensor. In order to reduce the noise in signal, we introduce an advanced least mean squares (LMS) adaptive filter into the procedure. We use the signal processed by a bandpass filter as the adesired signal' to deal with the raw data and obtain a preferable output for HRV calculation. © 2020 SPIE.

  Abstract:The Yutu-2 rover of the Chang'E-4 spacecraft observed many meter-sized shallow pits fully covered with small fragments, distinct from the typical rock-free impact craters with comparable sizes in the landing area. The unique morphology of the pits and the visible and near-infrared spectra of the fragments suggest that the fragments are broken pieces of impact melt-conglutinated regolith breccia projectiles, which were excavated from preexisting craters. The rareness of rock on the landing area surface suggests that the preexisting craters were probably small in size (e.g., ©2020. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

  Abstract:We report a broadband RF channelizer with 92 channels using a 49 GHz soliton crystal microcomb with another high-Q MRR as a passive periodic filter with a resolution of 121.4 MHz. We achieve an instantaneous RF bandwidth of 8.08 GHz and 17.55 GHz via thermal tuning. Our approach is a significant step towards monolithically integrated photonic RF receivers with reduced complexity, size, and high performance for broadband analog signal processing and digital-compatible signal detection. © 2020 IEICE.

  Abstract:The Einstein Probe (EP) is an X-ray astronomical mission mainly devoting to time-domain astronomy. There are two main scientific payloads onboard EP, the Wide Field X-ray Telescope (WXT) based on the lobster eye optics and the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT). FXT contains two Wolter-1 mirrors with a pnCCD detector on each focus. The total effective area is about 600 cm2 and the energy range is 0.3-10 keV. The pnCCD detector cooled by a pulse tube cooler enables high-resolution spectroscopy and imaging combined with excellent time resolution. It will also have several working modes with time resolution ranging from tens of microseconds to 50 milliseconds. Currently, the FXT is in its qualification model phase. The mirror assemblies (STM and TCM) as well as the pnCCD EM module have been manufactured and tested. © 2020 SPIE
