摘要:
In one example embodiment, a focusing device generates a first image associated with a sample having a first irregularity. The focusing device determines a second irregularity based on the generated first image. In this embodiment, the determined second irregularity corresponds to the first irregularity. For a lens, the focusing device determines a focusing position based on the determined second irregularity.

A tissue-slice image acquirement and display apparatus includes: an entire-image acquirer that acquires a bright-field image of an entirety of a first slice of a tissue and a dark-field image of an entirety of a second slice of the tissue; a modifier that modifies a profile shape of a slice portion in the dark-field image on the basis of a profile shape of a slice portion in the bright-field image; a magnified-image acquirer that determines a range encompassing the second slice on the basis of the profile shape of the modified slice portion and that acquires, in a dark field, a magnified image of the second slice in the determined range; and a display controller that causes the bright-field image to be displayed and that causes a portion of the magnified image, the portion corresponding to a position selected in the bright-field image, to be displayed.

A microscope control device includes an offset processing unit that corrects phase contrast information regarding a phase contrast between corresponding phase contrast images, which is generated based on a set of the phase contrast images of a sample which are captured by a microscope, based on offset information of phase contrasts caused by optical distortions unique to the microscope, and a defocus amount calculation unit that calculates a defocus amount of the sample on the basis of the phase contrast information after offset correction.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for enhancing the resistance of plants to plant pests are provided. Chimeric pesticidal polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the chimeric pesticidal polypeptides are provided. The chimeric pesticidal polypeptides comprising a solubility-enhancing polypeptide operably linked to a polypeptide comprising pesticidal activity. The nucleic acid molecules can be used in expression cassettes for making transformed plants with enhanced resistance to plant pests. Further provided are transformed plants, plant tissues, plant cells, other host cells, and seeds as well as pesticidal compositions.
摘要:
Traditionally, the primary method for impacting insect pest populations is the application of broad-spectrum chemical insecticides. However, there is increasing concern about the environmental hazards associated with the production and use of synthetic chemical pesticides. Thus, there is substantial interest in developing alternative pesticides, including biological control of insect pests of agricultural significance using a microbial agent or another species of insect. The present invention provides compositions and methods for such biological control. Modified Cry3 pesticidal polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, and methods of use are disclosed. The modified polynucleotides provided herein can be used to transform organisms and cells of hosts comprising plant, insects, and microorganisms. The expression of modified polypeptides can provide the host with improved insecticidal activity against one or more insect pathogens.
