In the field of targeted drug delivery, the effects of size and morphology of drug nanocarriers
are of great importance and need to be discussed in depth. To be concise, among all the …

With the availability of high‐resolution miniature spatial light modulators (SLMs) new
methods in optical microscopy have become feasible. The SLMs discussed in this review …

Super-resolution (SR) microscopy has dramatically enhanced our understanding of
biological processes. However, scattering media in thick specimens severely limits the …

Genomic information must be faithfully transmitted into two daughter cells during mitosis. To
ensure the transmission process, interphase chromatin is further condensed into mitotic …

Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is an inherently qualitative phase-imaging
technique. What is obtained is an image with mixed phase-gradient and amplitude …

We developed a deep-ultraviolet (UV) microscope capable of imaging cell mitosis and
motility at 280 nm for 45 min with minimal UV-induced toxicity, and for 6 h before the onset of …

Refractive index (RI) is considered to be a fundamental physical and biophysical parameter
in biological imaging, as it governs light-matter interactions and light propagation while …

Different from traditional ensemble measurement methods, single-particle tracking (SPT) is a
powerful approach to study the distribution of dynamic processes in a complex environment …

In eukaryotic cells, highly condensed inactive/silenced chromatin has long been called
“heterochromatin.” However, recent research suggests that such regions are in fact not fully …

We report on the fabrication of, to the best of our knowledge, the first highly reflective fiber
Bragg gratings for the 4 µm wavelength range. A second-order grating with a coupling …
