Current smartphones equipped with high-sensitivity and high-resolution sensors in the camera can respond to the needs of low-light imaging, streaming acquisition, targets of various scales, etc. Therefore, a smartphone has great potential as an imaging device even in the scientific field and has already been introduced into biomolecular imaging usi...
Modularized microscope based on parallel phase-shifting digital holography for imaging of living biospecimens
Published in Journal of Biomedical Optics
Significance: Parallel phase-shifting digital holographic microscope (PPSDHM) is powerful for three-dimensional (3D) measurements of dynamic specimens. However, the PPSDHM reported previously was directly fixed on the optical bench and imposed difficulties case, thus it is required to modify the specification of the microscope or transport the micr...
Protocols for Monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms for Sustainable Aquaculture and Coastal Fisheries in Chile
...Published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Harmful algae blooms (HABs) cause acute effects on marine ecosystems due to their production of endogenous toxins or their enormous biomass, leading to significant impacts on local economies and public health. Although HAB monitoring has been intensively performed at spatiotemporal scales in coastal areas of the world over the last decades, procedu...
To assess the occurrence of middle mesial canal using cone-beam computed tomography and dental operating microscope: An ...
Published in Journal of Conservative Dentistry : JCD
Introduction: Failures of root canal treatments are mainly attributed to missed canals and ignorance about the complex anatomy of the root canal system. One such example of anatomic variation is the middle mesial canal (MMC) in mandibular molars which is often missed, and literature on methods for identifying them is limited. Aim: This in vitro stu...

Flexible endoscope visualization to assist in the removal of a string of 10 schwannomas at the cauda equina: technical c...
Published in Journal of neurosurgery. Spine
Bead-like schwannomas at the cauda equina are rare but benign intraspinal tumors. They can involve multiple nerve roots and spread within the spinal canal, and open resection would cause significant trauma. The authors have successfully applied a novel minimally invasive technique for the total removal of such schwannomas. A 68-year-old woman prese...
