A fiber-optic confocal scanner for scattering tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Confocal microscopy has become an important diagnostic tool in examining scattering tissues. The high resolution of confocal microscopy and its optical sectioning capabilities lend itself as a desirable modality in examining ... -
Modeling of delayed fluorescence from photosystem II and applications in assessment of drought and chemical stresses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Photosynthesis is not only vital for plant growth and survival but also indicative of plant-environment interactions. This research was designed to analyze photoelectron kinetics and its dependence on environmental factors. ... -
Propagation of polarized light in skeletal muscle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Skeletal muscle is a very important tissue in animals and humans. Optical polarization imaging is a non-invasive method to study biological tissues and provides unique polarization contrast. An imaging system was developed ... -
Regulation of calcium signaling by p130PH in astrocytes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Ca2+ signaling is a characteristic form of astrocyte excitability, but its role in ischemia is not clearly understood. Our previous study (Ding et al., 2009) demonstrated that astrocytes exhibit enhanced Ca2+ signaling ...
