The classification of melasma is critical for correct clinical diagnosis, treatment selection, and postoperative measures. However, preoperative quantitative determination of melasma type remains chal...
Using photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) to simultaneously obtain the two diagnostic indicators of melanin and blood vessels for melasma classification and perform quantitative analysis to finally achieve...
First, the patients were classified by experienced dermatologists with Wood's lamp and optical dermoscopy. Next, the patients were examined...
PAM can quantitatively reveal epidermal thickness and dermal vascular morphology in each case and obtain the quantitative diagnostic indicators of melanin and blood vessels. The mean vascular diameter...
PAM can obtain the data of epidermal thickness, pigment depth, subcutaneous vascular diameter, and vascular density, and realize the dual standard quantitative melasma classification by combining the ...
Limited by spatial and temporal resolution, traditional optical microscopy cannot image the delicate ultra-structure organelles and sub-organelles. The emergence of super-resolution microscopy makes i...
To explore the clinical application value of optical coherence microscopy (OCM) in Hirschsprung's disease. 109 HSCR patients were recuited in a Chinese hospital from January 2018 to July 2021. All the...
Microscopy is widely used during the development and testing of topical formulations; however, it often lacks the ability to be chemically specific with regard to what is being imaged. This article de...
Optical transmission microscopy of different sunscreen emulsions was carried out using a custom-built microscope, imaging in the UVB (313 nm), UVA (365 nm) and visible light (546 nm) and with differen...
By using light of different wavelengths, direct visualization of different UV absorbing ingredients within the product emulsion using optical transmission microscopy has been performed and the locatio...
Microscopy has long been a valuable tool for the skin researcher, providing structural information about the products and how they perform. By moving outside of the spectral region of visible light an...
Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) is a relatively new technique which measures the dynamics of suspended particles using a dynamic light scattering formalism. Videos are recorded using standard li...
Biomedical imaging includes the use of a variety of techniques to study organs and tissues. Some of the possible imaging modalities are more spread at clinical level (CT, MRI, PET), while others, such...
Cancer is a life-threatening disease that has claimed the lives of many people worldwide. With the current diagnostic methods, it is hard to determine cancer at an early stage, due to its versatile na...
Cells can crawl, self-heal, and tune their stiffness due to their remarkably dynamic cytoskeleton. As such, reconstituting networks of cytoskeletal biopolymers may lead to a host of active and adaptab...
Over the past decade, super-resolution ultrasound localization microscopy (SR-ULM) has revolutionized ultrasound imaging with its capability to resolve the microvascular structures below the ultrasoun...
Invasive fungal infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in a broad range of patients. Adequate and early diagnosis is a challenge and of importance for improved survival. New mole...
We aimed to provide a useful recommendation for direct microscopy for effectively managing numerous specimens related to fungal infections, mainly covering opportunistic pathogens....
A PubMed literature search covering direct fungal microscopy was performed with no restrictions on publication dates....
Best practise recommendations targeting the role of direct microscopy in diagnosing fungal infections are given. This review highlights when to perform direct microscopy, displays the main fungal morp...
In many samples, the performance of direct microscopy provides an important diagnostic benefit that is greater than culture alone. Fluorescent dyes improve sensitivity and allow a fast and rapid read....
