Our study shows that the corrosion resistance of the nanoscale precipitates varies with their structure type and Cu-content. Just like the Al-matrix, the early-stage precipitates are corrosion resistant, as compared with the ηp/η-precipitates without high Cu-content. With a high Cu-content, however, the η-precipitates become most corrosion resistant among all phases involved. Hence, tailoring the precipitate microstructure and chemistry though thermal processes may change the overall corrosion morphology and improve corrosion resistance property of the alloy.展开更多

文摘Light penetration depth in biological tissue is limited by tissue scattering.Correcting scattering becomes particularly challenging in scenarios with limited photon availability and when access to the transmission side of the scattering tissue is not possible.Here,we introduce,to our knowledge,a new two-photon microscopy system with Fourier-domain intensity coupling for scattering correction(2P-FOCUS).2P-FOCUS corrects scattering by intensity modulation in the Fourier domain,leveraging the nonlinearity of multiple-beam interference and twophoton excitation,eliminating the need for a guide star,iterative optimization,or measuring transmission or reflection matrices.2P-FOCUS uses random patterns to probe scattering properties,combined with a single-shot algorithm to rapidly generate the correction mask.2P-FOCUS can also correct scattering beyond the limitation of the memory effect by automatically customizing correction masks for each subregion in a large field-of-view.We provide several proof-of-principle demonstrations here,including focusing and imaging through a bone sample,and imaging neurons and cerebral blood vessels in the mouse brain ex vivo.2P-FOCUS significantly enhances two-photon fluorescence signals by several tens of folds compared to cases without scattering correction at the same excitation power.2P-FOCUS can also correct tissue scattering over a 230μm×230μm×510μm volume,which is beyond the memory effect range.2P-FOCUS is able to measure,calculate,and correct scattering within a few seconds,effectively delivering more light deep into the scattering tissue.2P-FOCUS could be broadly adopted for deep tissue imaging owing to its powerful combination of effectiveness,speed,and cost.

文摘Nano-scale chemical inhomogeneity in surface oxide films formed on a V-and N-containing martensite stainless steel and tempering heating induced changes are investigated by a combination of synchrotron-based hard X-ray Photoelectron emission spectroscopy(HAXPES)and microscopy(HAXPEEM)as well as microscopic X-ray absorption spectroscopy(μ-XAS)techniques.The results reveal the inhomogeneity in the oxide films on the micron-sized Cr_(2)N-and VN-type particles,while the inhomogeneity on the martensite matrix phase exists due to localised formation of nano-sized tempering nitride particles at 600℃.The oxide film formed on Cr_(2)N-type particles is rich in Cr_(2)O_(3) compared with that on the martensite matrix and VN-type particles.With the increase of tempering temperature,Cr_(2)O_(3) formation is faster for the oxidation of Cr in the martensite matrix than the oxidation of Cr nitride-rich particles.

文摘Atherosclerosis has been recognized as a chronic inflammation disease,in which many types of cells participate in this process,including lymphocytes,macrophages,dendritic cells(DCs),mast cells,vascular smooth muscle cells(SMCs).Developments in imaging technology provide the capability to observe cellular and tissue components and their interactions.The knowledge of the functions of immune cells and their interactions with other cell and tissue components will facilitate our discovery of biomarkers in atherosclerosis and prediction of the risk factor of rupture-prone plaques.Nonlinear optical microscopy based on two-photon excited autofluorescence and second harmonic generation(SHG)were developed to image mast cells,SMCs and collagen in plaque ex vivo using endogenous optical signals.Mast cells were imaged with two-photon tryptophan autofluorescence,SMCs were imaged with two-photon NADH auto fluorescence,and collagen were imaged with SHG.This development paves the way for further study of mast cell degranulation,and the effects of mast cell derived mediators such as induced synthesis and activation of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs)which participate in the degradation of collagen.

文摘Apoptosis is very important for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and is closely related to the occurrence and treatment of many diseases.Mitochondria in cells play a crucial role in programmed cell death and redox processes.Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD(P)H)is the primary producer of energy in mitochondria,changing NAD(P)H can directly reflect the physiological state of mitochondria.Therefore,NAD(P)H can be used to evaluate metabolic response.In this paper,we propose a noninvasive detection method that uses two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy(TP-FLIM)to characterize apoptosis by observing the binding kinetics of cellular endogenous NAD(P)H.The result shows that the average fluorescence lifetime of NAD(P)H and the fluorescence lifetime of protein-bound NAD(P)H will be affected by the changing pH,serum content,and oxygen concentration in the cell culture environment,and by the treatment with reagents such as H2O2 and paclitaxel.Taxol(PTX).This noninvasive detection method realized the dynamic detection of cellular endogenous substances and the assessment of apoptosis.

文摘By Using （scanning） transmission electron microscopy, localized-corrosion morphology variations of the AA7055 AIZn（Cu）Mg alloy with different thermal processes and their underlying microscopic causes were investigated systematically. Our study shows that the corrosion resistance of the nanoscale precipitates varies with their structure type and Cu-content. Just like the Al-matrix, the early-stage precipitates are corrosion resistant, as compared with the ηp/η-precipitates without high Cu-content. With a high Cu-content, however, the η-precipitates become most corrosion resistant among all phases involved. Hence, tailoring the precipitate microstructure and chemistry though thermal processes may change the overall corrosion morphology and improve corrosion resistance property of the alloy.

文摘The fluorescence lifetime of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH),a key endogenous coenzyme and metabolic biomarker,can reflect the metabolic state of cells.To implement metabolic imaging of brain tissue at high resolution,we assembled a two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy(FLIM)platform and verified the feasibility and stability of NADH-based two-photon FLIM in paraformaldehydefixed mouse cerebral slices.Furthermore,NADH based metabolic state oscillation was observed in cerebral nuclei suprachiasmatic nucleus(SCN).The free NADH fraction displayed a relatively lower level in the daytime than at the onset of night,and an ultradian oscillation at night was observed.Through the combination of high-resolution imaging and immunostaining data,the metabolic tendency of different cell types was detected after the first two hours of the day and at night.Thus,two-photon FLIM analysis of NADH in paraformaldehyde-fixed cerebral slices provides a high-resolution and label-free method to explore the metabolic state of deep brain regions.

文摘Multiphoton microscopy(MPM),based on two-photon excited fuorescence and second harmonic generation,enables direct noninvasive visualization of tissue architecture and cell morphology in live tissues without the administration of exogenous contrast agents.In this paper,we used MPM to image the microstructures of the mucosa in fresh,unfixed,and unstained intestinal tissue of mouse.The morphology and distribution of the main components in mucosa layer such as columnar cells,goblet cells,intestinal glands,and a little collagen fibers were clearly observed in MPM images,and then compared with standard H&:E images from paired specimens.Our results indicate that MPM combined with endoscopy and miniaturization probes has the potential application in the clinical diagnosis and in vivo monitoring of early intestinal cancer.

文摘Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions.Given that AD undermines the quality of life for millions and has an extended asymptomatic period,exploring the full AD pathogenesis and seeking the optimal therapeutic solution have become critical and imperative.This allows researchers to intervene,delay,and potentially prevent AD progression.Several clinical imaging methods are utilized routinely to diagnose and monitor AD,such as magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI),positron emission tomography(PET),and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT).Nevertheless,due to their intrinsic drawbacks and restrictions,such as radiation concerns,high cost,long acquisition time,and low spatial resolution,their applications in AD research are limited,especially at the cellular and molecular levels.In contrast,optical microscopic imaging methods overcome these limitations,offering researchers a variety of approaches with distinct advantages to explore AD pathology on diverse models.In this review,we provide a comprehensive overview of commonly utilized optical microscopic imaging techniques in AD research and introduce their contributions to image amyloid beta(Aβ)species.These techniques include fluorescence microscopy(FM),confocal microscopy(CM),two-photon fluorescence microscopy(TPFM),super-resolution microscopy(SRM),expansion microscopy(ExM),and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy(LSFM).In addition,we introduce some related topics,such as the development of near-infrared(NIR)Aβprobes,the Aβplaque hypothesis,and Aβoligomer hypothesis,and the roles of microglia and astrocytes in AD progression.We believe optical microscopic imaging methods continue to play an indispensable role in deciphering the full pathogenesis of AD and advancing therapeutic strategies.

文摘The characteristics of nonmetallic inclusions formed during steel production have a significant influence on steel performance.In this paper,studies on inclusions using confocal scanning laser microscopy(CSLM)are reviewed and summarized,particularly the col-lision of various inclusions,dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,and reactions between inclusions and steel.Solid inclusions exhibited a high collision tendency,whereas pure liquid inclusions exhibited minimal collisions because of the small attraction force induced by their<90°contact angle with molten steel.The collision of complex inclusions in molten steel was not included in the scope of this study and should be evaluated in future studies.Higher CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)and CaO/SiO_(2)ratios in liquid slag promoted the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)-based in-clusions.The formation of solid phases in the slag should be prevented to improve dissolution of inclusions.To accurately simulate the dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,in-situ observation of the dissolution of inclusions at the steel-slag interface is necessary.Using a combination of CSLM and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy,the composition and morphological evolution of the inclusions during their modification by the dissolved elements in steel were observed and analyzed.Although the in-situ observa-tion of MnS and TiN precipitations has been widely studied,the in-situ observation of the evolution of oxide inclusions in steel during so-lidification and heating processes has rarely been reported.The effects of temperature,heating and cooling rates,and inclusion character-istics on the formation of acicular ferrites(AFs)have been widely studied.At a cooling rate of 3-5 K/s,the order of AF growth rate in-duced by different inclusions,as reported in literature,is Ti-O<Ti-Ca-Zr-Al-O<Mg-O<Ti-Zr-Al-O<Mn-Ti-Al-O<Ti-Al-O<Zr-Ti-Al-O.Further comprehensive experiments are required to investigate the quantitative relationship between the formation of AFs and inclusions.

文摘Full-color imaging is essential in digital pathology for accurate tissue analysis.Utilizing advanced optical modulation and phase retrieval algorithms,Fourier ptychographic microscopy(FPM)offers a powerful solution for high-throughput digital pathology,combining high resolution,large field of view,and extended depth of field(DOF).However,the full-color capabilities of FPM are hindered by coherent color artifacts and reduced computational efficiency,which significantly limits its practical applications.Color-transferbased FPM(CFPM)has emerged as a potential solution,theoretically reducing both acquisition and reconstruction threefold time.Yet,existing methods fall short of achieving the desired reconstruction speed and colorization quality.In this study,we report a generalized dual-color-space constrained model for FPM colorization.This model provides a mathematical framework for model-based FPM colorization,enabling a closed-form solution without the need for redundant iterative calculations.Our approach,termed generalized CFPM(gCFPM),achieves colorization within seconds for megapixel-scale images,delivering superior colorization quality in terms of both colorfulness and sharpness,along with an extended DOF.Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that gCFPM surpasses state-of-the-art methods across all evaluated criteria.Our work offers a robust and comprehensive workflow for high-throughput full-color pathological imaging using FPM platforms,laying a solid foundation for future advancements in methodology and engineering.

文摘High-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM)promises rapid atomic-scale dynamic structure imaging.Yet,the precision limitations of aberration parameters and the challenge of eliminating aberrations in Cs-corrected transmission electron microscopy constrain resolution.A machine learning algorithm is developed to determine the aberration parameters with higher precision from small,lattice-periodic crystal images.The proposed algorithm is then validated with simulated HRTEM images of graphene and applied to the experimental images of a molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))monolayer with 25 variables(14 aberrations)resolved in wide ranges.Using these measured parameters,the phases of the exit-wave functions are reconstructed for each image in a focal series of MoS_(2)monolayers.The images were acquired due to the unexpected movement of the specimen holder.Four-dimensional data extraction reveals time-varying atomic structures and ripple.In particular,the atomic evolution of the sulfur-vacancy point and line defects,as well as the edge structure near the amorphous,is visualized as the resolution has been improved from about 1.75?to 0.9 A.This method can help salvage important transmission electron microscope images and is beneficial for the images obtained from electron microscopes with average stability.
