Various techniques to measure the three-dimensional (3D) surface profile of a 3D micro- or nanostructure have been proposed. However, it is difficult to apply such techniques directly to industrial uses because most of them are relatively slow, unreliable, and expensive. The HiLo optical imaging technique, which was recently introduced in the field of fluorescence imaging, is a promising wide-field imaging technique capable of high-speed imaging with a simple optical configuration. It has not been used in measuring a 3D surface profile although confocal microscopy originally developed for fluorescence imaging has been adapted to the field of 3D optical measurement for a long time. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, the HiLo optical imaging technique for measuring a 3D surface profile is proposed for the first time. Its optical configuration and algorithm for a precisely detecting surface position are designed, optimized, and implemented. Optical performance for several 3D microscale structures is evaluated, and it is confirmed that the capability of measuring a 3D surface profile with HiLo optical imaging technique is comparable to that with confocal microscopy.

Tilletia laevis Kuhn (syn. Tilletia foetida (Wallr.) Liro.) causes wheat common bunt, which is one of the most devastating plant diseases in the world. Common bunt can result in a reduction of 80% or even a total loss of wheat production. In this study, the characteristics of T. laevis infection in compatible wheat plants were defined based on the combination of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy. We found T. laevis could lead to the abnormal growth of wheat tissues and cells, such as leakage of chloroplasts, deformities, disordered arrangements of mesophyll cells and also thickening of the cell wall of mesophyll cells in leaf tissue. What's more, T. laevis teliospores were found in the roots, stems, flag leaves, and glumes of infected wheat plants instead of just in the ovaries, as previously reported. The abnormal characteristics caused by T. laevis may be used for early detection of this pathogen instead of molecular markers in addition to providing theoretical insights into T. laevis and wheat interactions for breeding of common bunt resistance.

A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) is applied to determine three-dimensional fiber orientation states in injection-molded short fiber composites. Since the CLSM optically sections the composites, more than two planes either on or below the surface of composites can be obtained. Therefore, three dimensional fiber orientation states are determined without destruction. To predict the orientation states, velocity and temperature fields are calculated by using a hybrid FEM/FDM method. The change of orientation state during packing stage is also considered by employing a compressible Hele-Shaw model. The predicted orientation states show good agreement with measured ones. However, some differences are found at the end of cavity. They may result from other effects, which are not considered in the numerical analysis.

CSLM 기술을 이용하여 Salmonella enteritidis에 의한 계란 오염 과정을 관찰하여 난막의 3중막 구조, cuticle 층 그리고 5가지 필름 피복의 침투 방어효과를 조사하였다. 난막을 구성하는 fiber의 지름은 각각 outer membrane $1.5{\sim}7.2\;{\mu}m$, inner membrane $0.8{\sim}2.0\;{\mu}m$이었고, limiting membrane을 구성하는 입자의 지름은 $0.1{\sim}1.4\;{\mu}m$이었으며, 두께는 각각 평균 10.0, 3.5, $3.6\;{\mu}m$이었다. 난각과 접해 있는 outer membrane은 다음 층인 inner membrane과 부분적으로 중첩되어있고, limiting membrane의 입자들은 매우 밀집되어 inner membrane과 중첩된 상태로 존재하였다. Cuticle층은 전체 계란 표면적 중 $40{\sim}80%$ 를 덮고 있었으며, 두께는 평균 $6.0\;{\mu}m$이었고 피복 필름들의 평균 두께는 자각 mineral oil $5.0\;{\mu}m$, dextrin $3.6\;{\mu}m$, gelatin $3.9\;{\mu}m$, starch $2.5\;{\mu}m$, chitosan $2.2\;{\mu}m$이었다. 필름 피복에 의한 Salmonella enteritidis 생육 억제효과를 관찰한 결과, chitosan이 가장 효과적이었다. 그리고 trisodium phosphate (TSP), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) 처리, 5종의 필름 피복 처리와 무처리한 계란표면에 Salmonella enteritidis를 접종한 후 내부 전이 과정을 CSLM을 이용하여 다색영상화(multi-color imaging)와 시간당 투과 균수에 대한 plate count로 비교한 결과, 난각이나 3중막 구조의 난막보다는 cuticle 층이 Salmonella균의 오염을 차단하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, chitosan 피복이 cuticle 층과 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 따라서 피복 필름중에서 chitosan이 최외부 방어막인 cuticle층이 결손된 난각 부위를 피복하는데 가장 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 위생제 처리에 의해 식품에 존재하는 식중독성미생물의 불활성화 효과를 신속하고 직접적으로 평가하는 방법을 개발하고자 하였다. 이는 위생재 처리에 의한 식중독성 미생물의 불활성화 효과를 기존의 plate count 방법으로는 많은 시간이 소요되며, 또한 균주의 특성 및 배양환경과 같은 변수 때문에 정확하게 분석하기에 어렵다는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안을 제시하기 위해 진행되었다. 먼저 Salmonella균은 계육 표면의 주로 모공 또는 표면의 주름진 틈사이에 오염되어 존재하는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 TSP 처리에 의한 Salmonellar균의 불활성화 효과를 CLSM과 flow cytometry의 다색 영상화 방법을이용하여 cell viability 염색 방법으로 평가할 수 있었다. 또한 이와 같은 방법을 이용함으로써 Salmonellar균으로 오염된 계육에 TSP 처리하였을 때, Salmonellar균이 계육의 오염부위에서 불활성화 되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 방법으로 식품에 존재하는 식중독성 미생물에 대하여 다양한 위생제 처리에 의한 불활성화 효과를 cell viability 측면에서 직접적이면서 신속하고 명확하게 평가할 수 있음이 확인되었다고 판단된다.

Retinal glial responses to hypertensive glaucomatous injury were spatiotemporally surveyed. Retinas as a whole or vertical sections were processed for anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), anti-Iba1, anti-nerve growth factor (NGF), and anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ immunohistochemistry for confocal microscopic analyses. The optic nerve head of paired controls was processed for electron microscopy. GFAP positive astrocytes appeared in the nerve fiber layer in the glaucomatous and control retinas, changing from fine protoplasmic to stout fibrous parallel to glaucomatous duration. Iba1 positive microglia appeared in both retinas, and enormous reaction appeared at the latest glaucomatous. M$\ddot{u}$ller reaction detected by GFAP reactivity expanded from the end feet to whole profile following to duration in the glaucomatous. NGF reactivity expended from the end feet to the proximal radial processes of the M$\ddot{u}$ller cells in both retinas according to glaucomatous duration. TNF-${\alpha}$ immunoreactivity in the nerve fiber layer was stronger in both the glaucomatous and controls than in the normal, and exceptionally at the latest glaucomatous was even lower than the normal. The astrocytes in the optic nerve head are interconnected with each other via gap junction. These results demonstrate that astrocyte reaction propagates to the contralateral via physical links, and TNF-${\alpha}$ is correlated with NGF production for neuroprotection in response to hypertensive glaucomatous injury.

Optical microscopy is a useful tool for study in the biological sciences. With an optical microscope, we can observe the micro world of life such as tissues, cells, and proteins. A fluorescent dye or a fluorescent protein provides an opportunity to mark a specific target in the crowd of biological samples, so that an image of a specific target can be observed by an optical microscope. The optical microscope, however, is constrained in resolution due to diffraction limit. Super-resolution microscopy made a breakthrough with this diffraction limit. Using a super-resolution microscope, many biomolecules are observed beyond the diffraction limit in cells. In the case of volumetric imaging, the super-resolution techniques are only applied to a limited area due to long imaging time, multiple scattering of photons, and sample-induced aberration in deep tissue. In this article, we review recent advances in super-resolution microscopy for volumetric imaging. The super-resolution techniques have been integrated with various modalities, such as a line-scan confocal microscope, a spinning disk confocal microscope, a light sheet microscope, and point spread function engineering. Super-resolution microscopy combined with adaptive optics by compensating for wave distortions is a promising method for deep tissue imaging and biomedical applications.

Refining is very important process of fibers treatment for proper paper properties. An extent of refining is usually measured by freeness, although freeness gives complicated meanings. One of a direct way of studying the refining effects on pulp fibers is making photomicrographs of beaten fibers. The conventional microscopy like light microscopy(LM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) require to preserve the wet structure of pulp fibers morphologically since most of papermaking process is carried out almost entirely in water. Recently developed microscopy, especially confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM), offers the possibility of examining fully hydrated pulp fibers. Cross-sectional images of wet pulp fibers are also generated using optical sectioning by CLSM and image analysis in order to verify and quantify the extent of fiber wall swelling indicating the internal fibrillation. At low beating load such as 2.5 kgf, in the same freeness, breaking length is higher than that of high beating load such as 5.6 kgf. fiber wall thickness at low beating load is greater than that at high beating load. This result is accounted for the fact that internal fibrillation in the low beating load was high.

마이켈슨 간섭계를 이용한 간섭계형 현미경을 구성하고 특성을 조사하였다. 본 마이켈슨 간섭계형 현미경은 시료 표면의 반사 신호와 거울의 반사 신호가 합쳐져서 일어난 간섭 신호를 이용해서 3차원 영상을 얻는다. He-Ne(λ=633 nm)레이저를 사용한 마이켈슨 간섭계는 반파장 (312.5 nm)의 경로차가 생길 때마다 같은 무늬가 반복해져 나타난다. 본 마이켈슨 간섭계형 현미경은 이러한 간섭 신호를 이용하기 때문에 white-light interferometer 수준의 수직 해상도를 얻을 수 있었다. 구성한 마이켈슨 간섭계형 현미경으로 얻은 영상을 공초점 현미경의 영상과 비교 분석하였다.
