• Building Semipermeable Films One Monomer at a Time: Structural Advantages via Molecular Layer Deposition vs Interfacial Polymerization

  Chemistry of Materials · 2024-01-18 · 10 citations

  articleOpen access

  Molecular layer deposition (MLD) provides the opportunity to perform condensation polymerization one vaporized monomer at a time for the creation of precise, selective nanofilms for desalination membranes. Here, we compare the structure, chemistry, and morphology of two types of commercial interfacial polymerzation (IP) membranes with lab-made MLD films. M-phenylenediamine (MPD) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) produced a cross-linked, aromatic polyamide often used in reverse osmosis membranes at ML…

• Tunable liquid lens for three-photon excitation microscopy

  Biomedical Optics Express · 2024-04-08 · 10 citations

  articleOpen access

  We demonstrate a novel electrowetting liquid combination using a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) and a nonpolar liquid, 1-phenyl-1-cyclohexene (PCH) suitable for focus-tunable 3-photon microscopy. We show that both liquids have over 90% transmission at 1300 nm over a 1.1 mm pathlength and an index of refraction contrast of 0.123. A lens using these liquids can be tuned from a contact angle of 133 to 48° with applied voltages of 0 and 60 V, respectively. Finally, a three-photon imaging syste…

• High-speed in vivo calcium recording using structured illumination with self-supervised denoising

  Optics Continuum · 2024-10-07 · 6 citations

  articleOpen access

  indicator GCaMP8f in CA1 pyramidal neurons using periodic structured illumination (SI) with computational image reconstruction. We implement what we believe to be a novel reconstruction method for data acquired using periodic structured illumination, termed pseudo-HiLo (pHiLo), that combines a pseudo-widefield (pWF) reconstruction with individual SI frames to perform a HiLo reconstruction. We compare this new technique to interleaved optical sectioning structured illumination microscopy (OS-SIM)…
