Birefringent device converts a standard scanning microscope into a STED microscope that also maps molecular orientation.
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy usually employs a scanning excitation beam that is superimposed by a donut-shaped STED beam for keeping the fluorophores at the periphery of the excitation spot dark. Here, we introduce a simple birefringent device that produces a donut-shaped focal spot with suitable polarization for STED, while leaving the excitation spot virtually intact. The d...

If there is a painful tenosynovitis, synovectomy; a painful joint not responding to drug treatment, fusion; bony prominences (including metatarsal heads), excision; if the structure collapses, a valgus 'insole'; and if all else fails, bespoke footwear and discharge. But is this good enou...

متن کاملA Physicist Looks at Biology
A mature physicist, acquainting himself for the first time with the problems of biology, is puzzled by the circumstance that there are no "absolute phenomena" in biology. Everything is time bound and space bound. The animal or plant or micro-organism he is working with is but a link in an evolutionary chain of changing forms, none of which has any permanent validity. Even the molecular species ...
