Abstract: An electrode unit for performing electroporation of a biological cell is provided, including at least one electrode which can contact a cell. A stimulation unit and an impedance measurement device are connected to the cell, respectively to provide signals to provide cell electroporation and to measure the impedance of the electrode in contact with the cell. Further, a memory stores a predetermined value of an impedance parameter of the biological cell, and it is arranged to be readable by a comparing element. The comparing element is configured to compare the value stored in the memory with a value measured with the impedance measurement device, and to produce an adjustment signal to the stimulation unit, forming a feedback loop. The unit is further configured to apply a further electrical signal for providing electroporation of the cell upon receiving the adjustment signal from the comparing element.

Abstract: A method for three-dimensional imaging of a sample (302) comprises: receiving (102) interference patterns (208) acquired using light-detecting elements (212), wherein each interference pattern (208) is formed by scattered light from the sample (302) and non-scattered light from a light source (206; 306), wherein the interference patterns (208) are acquired using different angles between the sample (302) and the light source (206; 306); performing digital holographic reconstruction applying an iterative algorithm to change a three-dimensional scattering potential of the sample (302) to improve a difference between the received interference patterns (208) and predicted interference patterns based on the three-dimensional scattering potential; wherein the iterative algorithm reduces a sum of a data fidelity term and a non-differentiable regularization term and wherein the iterative algorithm includes a forward-backward splitting method alternating between forward gradient descent (108) on the data fidelity term and backward gradient descent (110) on the regularization term.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for labelling nucleic acids in a cell of a cell culture or of a tissue. The systems and methods include contacting the cell culture or tissue with a first label and applying an electrical field to the cell, thereby increasing the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing the first label to be introduced into the cell. The cell culture or tissue can be disposed on a multielectrode array, and the electrical field can be applied by operating one or more electrodes of the array that are proximate to (e.g., beneath) the cell in order to control the location of the cell whose permeability is increased and/or to control the timing of such permeability increase.
