While fluorescent techniques and other labelling methods such as those using gold nanoparticles allow the imaging of specific proteins and certain structures, they are generally very invasive for living samples. There now exists a growing number of unlabelled optical nanoscopy techniques, several techniques and principles having already been developed in materials science at the beginning of the 1990's. Unlabelled superresolution and nanodetection techniques stand out in particular amongst optical nanoscopy techniques since they provide respectively real improved resolving power and unresolved nanostructure detection power without the use of invasive markers. In order to be able to better apprehend the many different optical nanoscopy techniques that exist, we recently introduced a classification scheme and underlined the difference between superresolution techniques and those using nanodetection. Nanodetection techniques can be classified into four sub-categories that make use of the contrast, phase, deconvolution or nanomarkers to achieve nanodetection. High sensitivity phase measurement using interference microscopy demonstrates how nanostructured surfaces and structures can be characterized in biomaterials, laser textured stainless steel and µm defects within thin Mylar polymer films. There are a growing number of far field optical nanoscopy techniques that do not require labelling but that are capable of resolving nanostructures below 100 nm in size or providing useful information of nanostructures down to nm and sub-nm measurement sensitivity. Among them, interference microscopy is a well-established non-invasive imaging technique for three-dimensional imaging. There are two main ways of using interference microscopy to measure samples according to whether observations are performed on the surface or inside a layer. First, coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) provides rapid, contactless measurements of surface roughness using the single fringe envelope associated with the surface. Second, full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is another associated technique that can be used to measure the thickness and internal structures of transparent layers by detection of multiple fringe envelope signals. However, some sample characteristics such as the transparency or the high surface roughness can make structural analysis a challenge for any technique. Basic post processing methods, such as image averaging, and dark and flat corrections, can be used to improve the quality of the fringe images by increasing the signal to noise ratio. Likewise, the image contrast can be enhanced by combining images with different exposures. vii Résumé en anglais In this research project, I have developed a protocol “IMage Processing Optimization for fringe Visibility Enhancement (IMPROVE)-Protocol” using an optimized combination of image processing techniques and a new hybrid high dynamic range (HDR) technique to enable normally unmeasured features to be observed. The result is an enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in images, resulting in an improvement in the lateral resolution of the system and the increase of its power of detection, enabling new sub-diffraction sized structures to be detected. The final part of my work has involved in the development of an exciting new super-resolution technique using glass microspheres under a classical microscope to be able to observe structures of a size that is inferior to the diffraction limited resolution of the system. By adding interference fringes through the microspheres, the 3D reconstruction of the nano-object is possible, resulting in an optical far field "nano-3D" system and representing an entirely new high resolution 3D microscopy technique. viii Table des matières REMERCIEMENTS.........................................................................................................................

Sánchez, Chair Erik Bodegom Ralf Widenhorn Robert Strongin Portland State University 2017 ABSTRACT As optical microscopy techniques continue to improve, most notably the development of super-resolution optical microscopy which garnered the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014, renewed emphasis has been placed on the development and use of fluorescence microscopy techniques. Of particular note is a renewed interest in multiphoton excitation due to a number of inherent properties of the technique including simplified optical filtering, increased sample penetration, and inherently confocal operation. With this renewed interest in multiphoton fluorescence microscopy, comes increased interest in and demand for robust non-linear fluorescent markers, and characterization of the associated tool set.

Mohler,* and Aaron Lewis‡ * Center for Biomedical Imaging Technology, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT 06030-1507 USA ‡ Division of Applied Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) has been developed in our laboratories as a high- resolution non-linear optical imaging microscopy (“SHIM”) for cellular membranes and intact tissues. SHG is a non-linear process that produces a frequency doubling of the intense laser field impinging on a material with a high second order susceptibility. It shares many of the advantageous features for microscopy of another more established non-linear optical technique: two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF). Both are capable of optical sectioning to produce 3D images of thick specimens and both result in less photodamage to living tissue than confocal microscopy. SHG is complementary to TPEF in that it uses a different contrast mechanism and is most easily detected in the transmitted light optical path. It also does not arise via photon emission from molecular excited states, as do both 1- and 2-photon excited fluorescence. SHG of intrinsic highly ordered biological structures such as collagen has been known for some time but only recently has the full potential of high resolution 3D SHIM been demonstrated on live cells and tissues. For example, Figure 1 shows SHIM from microtubules in a living organism, C. elegans. The images were obtained from a transgenic nematode that expresses a ß-tubulin-green fluorescent protein fusion and Figure 1 also shows the TPEF image from this molecule for comparison.

This technology enables noninvasive study of biological specimens in three dimensions with submicrometer resolution. Two-photon excitation of fluorophores results from the simultaneous absorption of two photons. This excitation process has a number of unique advantages, such as reduced specimen photodamage and enhanced penetration depth. It also produces higher-contrast im- ages and is a novel method to trigger localized photochemical reactions. Two-photon microscopy continues to find an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine.

  • Multiplexed Biomimetic Lipid Membranes on Graphene by Dip-Pen Nanolithography
    ARTICLE Received 17 May 2013 | Accepted 10 Sep 2013 | Published 10 Oct 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3591 OPEN Multiplexed biomimetic lipid membranes on graphene by dip-pen nanolithography Michael Hirtz1,*, Antonios Oikonomou2,*, Thanasis Georgiou3, Harald Fuchs1,4 & Aravind Vijayaraghavan5 The application of graphene in sensor devices depends on the ability to appropriately func- tionalize the pristine graphene. Here we show the direct writing of tailored phospholipid membranes on graphene using dip-pen nanolithography. Phospholipids exhibit higher mobility on graphene compared with the commonly used silicon dioxide substrate, leading to well-spread uniform membranes. Dip-pen nanolithography allows for multiplexed assembly of phospholipid membranes of different functionalities in close proximity to each other. The membranes are stable in aqueous environments and we observe electronic doping of graphene by charged phospholipids. On the basis of these results, we propose phospholipid membranes as a route for non-covalent immobilization of various functional groups on graphene for applications in biosensing and biocatalysis. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the specific binding of streptavidin to biotin-functionalized membranes. The combination of atomic force microscopy and binding experiments yields a consistent model for the layer organization within phospholipid stacks on graphene. 1 Institute of Nanotechnology (INT) and Karlsruhe Nano Micro Facility (KNMF), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany. 2 School of Computer Science and Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology, The University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK. 3 School of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK. 4 Physical Institute and Center for Nanotechnology (CeNTech), University of Mu¨nster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str.

John Locke (1690) wrote in An Essay Concerning In the region of highest resolution, known as the fovea, Human Understanding , the cones are packed so tightly that they are only 2 µ m apart.

Still, this distance between the cones limits the resolving if that most instructive of our senses, seeing, were in any man a power of our eyes.
