Direct imaging of phase objects enables conventional deconvolution in bright field light microscopy
(2014-02)"In transmitted optical microscopy, absorption structure and phase structure of the specimen determine the three-dimensional intensity distribution of the image. The elementary impulse responses of the bright field microscope ... -
Ultrastructural analysis of Candida albicans when exposed to silver nanoparticles
(2014-10)"Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen in humans, and recently some studies have reported the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against some Candida species. However, ultrastructural analyses ... -
SERS properties of different sized and shaped gold nanoparticles biosynthesized under different environmental conditions by Neurospora crassa extract
(2013-10)"Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a surface-sensitive technique that enhances Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces. It is known that metal nanoparticles, especially gold and silver ... -
Magnetovolume and magnetocaloric effects in Er2Fe17
