Tomographic Diffractive Microscopy is a technique, which permits to image transparent living specimens in three dimensions
without staining. It is commonly implemented in two configurations, by either rotating the sample illumination keeping the
specimen fixed, or by rotating the sample using a fixed illumination. Under the first-order Born approximation, the volume
of the frequency domain that can be mapped with the rotating illumination method has the shape of a “doughnut”, which exhibits
a so-called “missing cone” of non-captured frequencies, responsible for the strong resolution anisotropy characteristic of
transmission microscopes. When rotating the sample, the resolution is almost isotropic, but the set of captured frequencies
still exhibits a missing part, the shape of which resembles that of an apple core. Furthermore, its maximal extension is reduced
compared to tomography with rotating illumination. We propose various configurations for tomographic diffractive microscopy,
which combine both approaches, and aim at obtaining a high and isotropic resolution. We illustrate with simulations the expected imaging performances of these configurations. 相似文献
This article is concerned with establishing the topological sensitivity (TS) against the nucleation of small trial inclusions of an energy-like cost function. The latter measures the discrepancy between two time-harmonic elastodynamic states (respectively defined, for cases where overdetermined boundary data is available for identification purposes, in terms of Dirichlet or Neumann boundary data for the same reference solid) as the strain energy of their difference. Such cost function constitutes a particular form of error in constitutive relation and may be used for e.g. defect identification. The TS is expressed in terms of four elastodynamic fields, namely the free and adjoint solutions for Dirichlet or Neumann data. A similar result is also given for the linear acoustic scalar case. A synthetic numerical example where the TS result is used for the qualitative identification of an inclusion is presented for a simple 2D acoustic configuration. 相似文献
We present experimental characteristics of an Yb3+-doped fiber ring laser operating with frequency-shifted feedback (FSF) through an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) and seeded by both a stationary continuous-wave (CW) laser and spontaneous emission. We show the spectrum and output characteristics for operations with several effective gain bandwidths, as established by Fabry-Perot etalons inside the cavity. Observation using a high finesse Fabry-Perot interferometer shows that, as expected from earlier work, although the spectrum of the FSF laser without seeding is continuous, when seeded by a CW-laser the spectrum consists of a comb of discrete modes, each offset from the seed by an integer number of AOM frequency shifts. The experimental results are in excellent quantitative agreement with the theory developed earlier [L. Yatsenko, B.W. Shore, K. Bergmann, Opt. Commun. 236 (2004) 183]. 相似文献
Transport coefficient measurements (DC conductivity and thermoelectric power) were performed on compacted bars of polycrystalline IrSe2 in the 100–570 K temperature range. The experimental results are interpeted on the basis of an n-type compensated semiconductor model. At low temperatures, a narrow band which originates from non-stoichiometry mainly participates in the conduction by thermally activated hopping of small polarons. The charge balance adopted by anionic groups is discussed. The schematic band model which is retained takes into account all the transport properties and the ion charge balance Ir3+Se2-(Se2)2-1/ 2. Moreover, IrSe2 has recently been shown to function as a cathode material in lithium batteries. 相似文献
By using a principle of least energy and a Dugdale surface energy with an irreversibility condition, we build a debonding model of thin films valid both for monotone and cyclic loading. We show that, if the internal length introduced in Dugdale model is small in comparison to the film length, then the growth of the debonding follows Griffith's law under monotone loading and a Paris-type law under cycling loading.

High resolution mass spectrometry is a key technology for in-depth protein characterization. High-field Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) enables high-level interrogation of intact proteins in the most detail to date. However, an appropriate complement of fragmentation technologies must be paired with FTMS to provide comprehensive sequence coverage, as well as characterization of sequence variants, and post-translational modifications. Here we describe the integration of front-end electron transfer dissociation (FETD) with a custom-built 21 tesla FT-ICR mass spectrometer, which yields unprecedented sequence coverage for proteins ranging from 2.8 to 29 kDa, without the need for extensive spectral averaging (e.g., ~60% sequence coverage for apo-myoglobin with four averaged acquisitions). The system is equipped with a multipole storage device separate from the ETD reaction device, which allows accumulation of multiple ETD fragment ion fills. Consequently, an optimally large product ion population is accumulated prior to transfer to the ICR cell for mass analysis, which improves mass spectral signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, and scan rate. We find a linear relationship between protein molecular weight and minimum number of ETD reaction fills to achieve optimum sequence coverage, thereby enabling more efficient use of instrument data acquisition time. Finally, real-time scaling of the number of ETD reactions fills during method-based acquisition is shown, and the implications for LC-MS/MS top-down analysis are discussed.
This study shows that the relaxivity and optical properties of functionalised lanthanide‐DTPA‐bis‐amide complexes (lanthanide=Gd3+ and Eu3+, DTPA=diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid) can be successfully modulated by addition of specific anions, without direct Ln3+/anion coordination. Zinc(II)‐dipicolylamine moieties, which are known to bind strongly to phosphates, were introduced in the amide “arms” of these ligands, and the interaction of the resulting Gd–Zn2 complexes with a range of anions was screened by using indicator displacement assays (IDAs). Considerable selectivity for polyphosphorylated species (such as pyrophosphate and adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate (ATP)) over a range of other anions (including monophosphorylated anions) was apparent. In addition, we show that pyrophosphate modulates the relaxivity of the gadolinium(III) complex, this modulation being sufficiently large to be observed in imaging experiments. To establish the binding mode of the pyrophosphate and gain insight into the origin of the relaxometric modulation, a series of studies including UV/Vis and emission spectroscopy, luminescence lifetime measurements in H2O and D2O, 17O and 31P NMR spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance dispersion (NMRD) studies were carried out. 相似文献
