The detection of asbestos roof slate by drone is necessary to avoid the safety risks and costs
associated with visual inspection. Moreover, the use of deep-learning models increases the …

A large number of peptides with binding affinity to various inorganic materials have been
identified and used as linkers, catalysts, and building blocks in nanotechnology and …

Asbestos contamination in common materials, including powdered talc used in
manufacturing cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and baby powder, is of great public concern …

Man-made vitreous fibers (MMVFs) are noncrystalline substances made of glass, rock or
slag and are widely used as thermal or acoustic insulation materials. There is continued …

An emerging alternative to the commonly used analytical methods for asbestos analysis is
fluorescence microscopy (FM), which relies on highly specific asbestos-binding probes to …

Field curvature and other aberrations are encountered inevitably when designing a compact
fluorescence imaging system with a simple lens. Although multiple lens elements can be …

In this study, we developed the prototype of an optical imaging-based point-of-care (POC)
device for monitoring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency …

It is technically difficult to acquire large-field images under the complexity and cost
restrictions of a diagnostic and instant field research purpose. The goal of the introduced …

Over expression of selected Salmonella proteins contributes to bacterial survival within host
cells. Bacterial cells can be induced to transcribe non-native genes, which results in the …

We propose a wide field-of-view fluorescence imaging system with a curved sample
chamber that corrects the field curvature caused by a simple lens. We describe a simple …
