Article Abstract
Standard imaging systems provide a spatial resolution that is ultimately dictated by the numerical aperture (NA) of the illumination and collection optics. In biological tissues, the resolution is strongly affected by scattering, which limits the penetration depth to a few tenths of microns. Here, we exploit the properties of speckle patterns embedded into a strongly scattering matrix to illuminate the sample at high spatial frequency content. Combining adaptive optics with a custom deconvolution algorithm, we obtain an increase in the transverse spatial resolution by a factor of 2.5 with respect to the natural diffraction limit. Our Scattering Assisted Imaging (SAI) provides an effective solution to increase the resolution when long working distance optics are needed, potentially paving the way to bulk imaging in turbid tissues.

Background: Underwater environments face challenges with image degradation due to light absorption and scattering, resulting in blurring, reduced contrast, and color distortion. This significantly impacts underwater exploration and environmental monitoring, necessitating advanced algorithms for effective enhancement.
Objectives: The study aims to develop an innovative underwater image enhancement algorithm that integrates physical models with deep learning to improve visual quality and surpass existing methods in performance metrics.

Epinephelus tukula is an economically important aquaculture animal, and a major parent in grouper crossbreeding. To better preserve and exploit E. tukula germplasm resources, a core collection (containing 34 individuals derived from 10 genetic groups) was first constructed based on phenotypic growth traits and whole-genome resequencing (WGS) data.

Photonic Reservoir Computing (RC) systems leverage the complex propagation and nonlinear interaction of optical waves to perform information processing tasks. These systems employ a combination of optical data encoding (in the field amplitude and/or phase), random scattering, and nonlinear detection to generate nonlinear features that can be processed via a linear readout layer. In this work, we propose a novel scattering-assisted photonic reservoir encoding scheme where the input phase is deliberately wrapped multiple times beyond the natural period of the optical waves [0,2π).

Background: Integrated mode proton imaging is a clinically accessible method for proton radiographs (pRads), but its spatial resolution is limited by multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS). As the amplitude of MCS decreases with increasing particle charge, heavier ions such as carbon ions produce radiographs with better resolution (cRads). Improving image resolution of pRads may thus be achieved by transferring individual proton pencil beam images to the equivalent carbon ion data using a trained image translation network.

Rapid identification and accurate diagnosis are critical for individuals with acute leukemia (AL). Here, we propose a combined deep learning and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (DL-SERS) classification strategy to achieve rapid and sensitive identification of AL with various subtypes and genetic abnormalities. More than 390 of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples are collected as targets, encompassing healthy control, AL patients, and individuals with other diseases.
