Abstract

We present a multielement phased-array approach to diffuse optical imaging based on postprocessing of continuous-wave data for the improvement of spatial resolution. In particular, we present a theoretical and experimental analysis of the performance of a three-element source array in the study of an optically turbid medium with two embedded cylindrical inclusions. We find that the proposed phased-array approach is able to resolve two cylinders with side-to-side separation of 10 mm that are not resolved by the intensity associated with a single light source.

Label-free reading of microarray-based proteins with high throughput surface plasmon resonance imaging.

A simple method is presented discriminating proteins at a gold surface by using an emerging technology, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging. As a high throughput method, the protein array of bovine serum albumin (BSA), poly-l-lysine (PL), casein and lactate dehydrogenase (LDG) was fabricated and SPR imaging enables detection from different kinds of proteins immobilized on the sensor surface. These proteins can be discriminated directly by various reflected intensity or changing the incident angular position of light. Denaturation of these immobilized proteins on SPR sensor by interacting with denaturant 6M GdnHCl solution was also performed and obvious changes in reflected intensity were occurred after denaturation. The observation of denaturation of these proteins further supported the fact that different proteins could be discriminated on protein array before denaturation. On the other hand, the procedure of denaturation provided useful information that any change of molecular structure with the progress of denaturation would result in change of SPR signal. Excellent reproducibility with a chip-to-chip for label-free discriminating various proteins was achieved.

Can one gain spectral information plus time by 3D HMBC via back-projection?

The 3D HMBC technique is compared with a time saving technique in which the projection-reconstruction (PR) principle is applied. Using strychnine as an example we demonstrate that after recording essentially three planes of the 3D cuboid a comparable result can be obtained, if certain constraints of the data dimensions are obeyed.
