Super-resolution optical imaging plays an important role in exploring the microscopic mechanisms of biological processes. Based on super-resolution imaging technology of fluorescent staining, live cell imaging of macromolecules such as proteins has been successfully achieved at the nanoscale. However, fluorescent labeling requires complex preparation and cannot effectively label small molecule metabolites (such as sugars, lipids, […]

Modern laser material processing systems generate a lot of data every day: on the one hand, these data can be used to monitor lasers and optical components; on the other hand, process monitoring also provides direct data from the material processing area. Today, this data is already used to monitor and record the quality of […]
