    摘要: A multi-photon microscope has an illumination source, an objective lens unit arranged in an optical path of the illumination source, a first light collection system arranged to collect a first portion of light emitted from a sample when the sample is illuminated by light from the illumination source, and a second light collection system arranged to collect a second portion of light emitted from the sample when the sample is illuminated by light from the illumination source. The first portion of light when collected by the first light collection system and the second portion of light when collected by the second light collection system, together provide a means of collecting as much light from as many angles as possible emanating from an emitting point source. This collection scheme has the potential to approach the total emission collection of light from an emitting point source depending on the optical properties of the sample being imaged.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for obtaining electroacoustic images of specimens. One method includes applying an acoustic wave to a specimen and forming an image based on an electroacoustically induced electric field or voltage. In another method, an electric field or voltage is applied to a specimen and an electroacoustically induced acoustic wave is measured to form an image. Apparatus suitable for obtaining electroacoustc images are disclosed as well as methods for distinguishing image contributions from the electroacoustic, thermoacoustic, and Hall effects.

    摘要: A method, and related apparatus, for suppressing the magnetic resonance signal to an experimentally adjustable depth by applying a spatially inhomogeneous field between the slice-select pulse and the data acquisition. Eliminating the signal from near surface regions allows one to shrink the field of view of an image without introducing aliasing artifacts, thereby improving the image's resolution or decreasing imaging time. Experimental tests on a phantom and a human subject indicate that the depth of signal suppression may be continuously varied to depths of over 80 millimeters with modest requirements on power supplies, pulse sequences, and materials.

    摘要: An MRI probe/transmitter coil has a pair of concentric cylinders with a plurality of inductively coupled freely rotating resonant elements radially mounted between the two cylinders. The coil can be tuned both symmetrically by pivoting all the resonant elements uniformly or asymmetrically by tuning them individually. The coil is driven in quadrature by a quad-hybrid circuit. A substantial part of the electromagnetic energy is stored in the resonant elements outside of the loading region of the coil to reduce perturbation in the coil operation due to the characteristics of the test subject.

    摘要: Light collectors for fluorescence microscopy include slab light guides having a specimen volume such as a specimen well configured to retain a specimen. The specimen volume is bounded by a surface of the slab light guide that permits laterally propagating fluorescence to enter the slab light guide and propagate toward a detection or imaging system. Typically, the slab light guide has an elliptical perimeter and the sample volume is situated at a first focus of the elliptical perimeter. A reflector such as a conical reflector is situated at the second focus so as to direct the collected fluorescence to exit the slab light guide.
