Imaging Sensors

Digital cameras obtain color information of the scene using a chromatic filter, usually a Bayer filter, overlaid on a pixelated detector. However, the periodic arrangement of both the filter array and the detector array introduces frequency aliasing in sampling and color misregistration during demosaicking process which causes degradation of image quality. Inspired by the biological structure of the avian retinas, we developed a chromatic LED array which has a geometric arrangement of multi-hyperuniformity, which exhibits an irregularity on small-length scales but a quasi-uniformity on large scales, to suppress frequency aliasing and color misregistration in full color image retrieval. Experiments were performed with a single-pixel imaging system using the multi-hyperuniform chromatic LED array to provide structured illumination, and 208 fps frame rate was achieved at 32 × 32 pixel resolution. By comparing the experimental results with the images captured with a conventional digital camera, it has been demonstrated that the proposed imaging system forms images with less chromatic moiré patterns and color misregistration artifacts. The concept proposed verified here could provide insights for the design and the manufacturing of future bionic imaging sensors.

Microscopy Techniques

Existing optical microscopy techniques compromise between resolution, photodamage, speed of acquisition and imaging in to deep samples. This often confines a technique to a certain biological system or process. We present a versatile imaging system which can switch between imaging modalities with sub millisecond transition times to adapt to the needs of a wide range of sample types. The imaging modalities provide the minimally invasive but low-resolution epi-fluorescence though increasing invasive but higher resolution confocal and structured illumination until the highest resolution is achieved through the most intrusive, localisation microscopy. The ability of the system to overcome the limitations of conventional single mode microscopy is demonstrated by several biological investigations. The ideas presented in this work allow researchers to move away from the model of a single imaging modality to study a specific process and instead follow those processes using the most suitable method available during the lifetime of the investigation.

The LENSAR® Laser System’s ergonomic design permits flexible functionality in any operating environment. Its low-pressure liquid interface eliminates corneal compression and facilitates accurate and complete capsulotomy construction. The Augmented Reality™ imaging system utilises a variable super luminescent diode for scanning structured illumination to provide high-contrast, high-definition targets, which guide the laser. Real-time imaging adjustments compensate for minute degrees of tissue displacement, permitting unrivalled precision in corneal incision architecture. Precise laser spot application allows fragmentation of all grades of cataract, without the need for unnecessarily large safety margins. Iris registration compensates for cyclotorsion in the construction of arcuate incisions by aligning preoperative corneal biometry to intraoperative imaging. The ability to define the cataract grade intraoperatively facilitates efficient phacofragmentation by permitting surgeon-specified preset patterns for the full range of nuclear densities. The LENSAR Laser System represents the state of the art in femtosecond cataract surgery.

Quantifying cell generated mechanical forces is key to furthering our understanding of mechanobiology. Traction force microscopy (TFM) is one of the most broadly applied force probing technologies, but its sensitivity is strictly dependent on the spatio-temporal resolution of the underlying imaging system. In previous works, it was demonstrated that increased sampling densities of cell derived forces permitted by super-resolution fluorescence imaging enhanced the sensitivity of the TFM method. However, these recent advances to TFM based on super-resolution techniques were limited to slow acquisition speeds and high illumination powers. Here, we present three novel TFM approaches that, in combination with total internal reflection, structured illumination microscopy and astigmatism, improve the spatial and temporal performance in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional mechanical force quantification, while maintaining low illumination powers. These three techniques can be straightforwardly implemented on a single optical set-up offering a powerful platform to provide new insights into the physiological force generation in a wide range of biological studies. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (part 1)'.

Abstract This paper presents the illumination design of a real-time live-bird imaging system for determining the size and initial presentation of a bird on a moving conveyor. A real-time live-bird imaging system presents a challenging design problem, for it must minimize the variability of the birds’ visual reflexes to mechanical processes, it must account for variations in bird size/shape/color, it must meet the cycle-time requirement, and yet provide an adequately illuminated environment to ease human supervision. In this paper, we first identify the variables needed for motion prediction. Second, by analyzing the bird visual perception we have developed a two-stage structured illumination that has the potential to minimize the demand on the control efforts of the transfer system, and to improve birds’ welfare and the ultimate product quality. Finally, we present the image algorithms and experimental results of the design evaluation using live birds. It is expected that the design principles presented in this paper provide essential bases for motion analysis, prediction, and control of an automated live-bird transfer process.
