AbstractWith inherent orthogonality, both the spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photons have been utilized to expand the dimensions of quantum information, optical communications, and information processing, wherein simultaneous detection of SAMs and OAMs with a single element and a single-shot measurement is highly anticipated. Here, a single azimuthal-quadratic phase metasurface-based photonic momentum transformation (PMT) is illustrated and utilized for vortex recognition. Since different vortices are converted into focusing patterns with distinct azimuthal coordinates on a transverse plane through PMT, OAMs within a large mode space can be determined through a single-shot measurement. Moreover, spin-controlled dual-functional PMTs are proposed for simultaneous SAM and OAM sorting, which is implemented by a single spin-decoupled metasurface that merges both the geometric phase and dynamic phase. Interestingly, our proposed method can detect vectorial vortices with both phase and polarization singularities, as well as superimposed vortices with a certain interval step. Experimental results obtained at several wavelengths in the visible band exhibit good agreement with the numerical modeling. With the merits of ultracompact device size, simple optical configuration, and prominent vortex recognition ability, our approach may underpin the development of integrated and high-dimensional optical and quantum systems.

AbstractSmartphone microscopes can be useful tools for a broad range of imaging applications. This manuscript demonstrates the first practical implementation of Microscopy with Ultraviolet Surface Excitation (MUSE) in a compact smartphone microscope called Pocket MUSE, resulting in a remarkably effective design. Fabricated with parts from consumer electronics that are readily available at low cost, the small optical module attaches directly over the rear lens in a smartphone. It enables high-quality multichannel fluorescence microscopy with submicron resolution over a 10× equivalent field of view. In addition to the novel optical configuration, Pocket MUSE is compatible with a series of simple, portable, and user-friendly sample preparation strategies that can be directly implemented for various microscopy applications for point-of-care diagnostics, at-home health monitoring, plant biology, STEM education, environmental studies, etc.

A method has been developed for densitometric estimation of the Feulgen-stained DNA content of 3H-labeled nuclei in autoradiographs in conjunction with automated grain counting using a Quantimet Imaging System. Refinements in the methodology are reported which include 1) the incorporation of an Image-Editor Module into the Quantimet module configuration; 2) the optimization of incident illumination based upon evaluation of various light sources; 3) changes in the optical configuration which reduce glare and minimize the level of monitor shading correction; 4) the optimization of scanner sensitivity; and 5) the evaluation of cell-flattening and staining with respect to densitometry resolution and sensitivity. These refinements resulted in a CV of less than 6.4% in the G-1 and G-2 DNA peaks of rat kidney cells in autoradiographs compared to the previous CV of 10.5%, and a G-2 to G-1 ratio of 2.025. For a fixed field position the CV was 5.1% and the replication error less than 1.0%.

Mycobactin S

Mycobactin S has been isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis and from Mycobacterium sp. Olitzky & Gershon, strain 2, and mycobactin H from M. thermoresistible; all three organisms were grown on synthetic media of low iron content. These two mycobactins are mixtures of compounds having the same nucleus but differing in their fatty side chains. The nucleus of mycobactin S has a chemical structure identical with that of mycobactin T but differs in the optical configuration at the β-carbon atom of the hydroxy acid fragment; the configuration in mycobactin S is S whereas that in mycobactin T is R (the previous assignment of this configuration was incorrect). The cobactin fragment of mycobactin H is identical with that of mycobactin S, but the mycobactic acid moiety differs in having methyl groups at position 6 in the benzene ring and at position 5 in the oxazoline ring. The configurations of all the asymmetric centres have been established for both mycobactins. Improved and simplified methods for the extraction and purification of mycobactins are described.
