Hydrostatic pressure shapes and canalizes semicircular canal morphology to ensure vestibular function.

Preprint · July 23, 2026 How tissues acquire reproducible shapes to support their function is a fundamental question in developmental biology. Zebrafish semicircular canals form when epithelial pillars partition the lumen of the otic vesicle, the embryonic precursor of the inner e ... Full text Link to item Cite

Tensorial tomographic Fourier Ptychography with applications to muscle tissue imaging

Preprint · May 8, 2023 We report Tensorial tomographic Fourier Ptychography (ToFu), a new non-scanning label-free tomographic microscopy method for simultaneous imaging of quantitative phase and anisotropic specimen information in 3D. Built upon Fourier Ptychography, a quantitat ... Link to item Cite

Tensorial tomographic differential phase-contrast microscopy

Preprint · April 24, 2022 We report Tensorial Tomographic Differential Phase-Contrast microscopy (T2DPC), a quantitative label-free tomographic imaging method for simultaneous measurement of phase and anisotropy. T2DPC extends differential phase-contrast microscopy, a quantitative ... Link to item Cite

Deep Optical Blood Analysis: COVID-19 Detection as a Case Study in Next Generation Blood Screening

Preprint · July 22, 2021 AbstractA wide variety of diseases are commonly diagnosed via the visual examination of cell morphology within a peripheral blood smear. For certain diseases, such as COVID-19, morphological impact across t ... Full text Cite
