Article Abstract
Significance: An unmet need is recognized for early detection and diagnosis of neurological diseases. Many psychological markers emerge years after disease onset. Mitochondrial dysfunction and corresponding neurodegeneration occur before onset of large-scale cell and tissue pathology. Early detection of subcellular morphology changes could serve as a beacon for early detection of neurological diseases. This study is on bacterial colonies, , which are similar in size to mitochondria.
Aim: This study investigates whether morphological changes can be detected in using scattering angle resolved optical coherence tomography (SAR-OCT).
Approach: The SAR-OCT was applied to detect scattering angle distribution changes in The rod-to-coccus shape transition of the bacteria was imaged, and the backscattering angle was analyzed by recording the distribution of the ratio of low- to medium angle scattering (L/M ratio). orientation at different locations in colonies was analytically modeled and compared with SAR-OCT results.
Results: Significant differences in the distribution of backscattering angle were observed in transitioning from rod-to-coccus shapes. In , the -parameter of the Burr distribution of the SAR-OCT-derived L/M ratio was significantly smaller in coccus compared with rod-shaped bacteria. SAR-OCT-derived L/M ratio varied with bacterial position in the colony and is consistent with predicted orientations from previous studies.
Conclusions: Study results support the potential of utilizing SAR-OCT to detect bacterial morphological changes.

Meniscus oscillations at interfaces between liquids, solids, and air significantly impact fluid dynamics and control. While idealized models exist, experimental data on capillary-gravity wave scattering involving meniscus effects remain limited. In this Letter, we systematically measured wave transmission past a surface-piercing barrier, focusing on meniscus effects.

Microfibers are pollutants of increasing concern, as they accumulate in aquatic environments and pose risks to living organisms. Once released, they undergo degradation processes that reduce their size and enhance their ability to interact with biological systems. Among these processes, photodegradation is a key driver, leading to fiber fragmentation and structural shrinkage.

To ensure safety, pharmaceuticals are rigorously tested for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contamination, as this can trigger severe immune reactions in patients. Low Endotoxin Recovery (LER), describing the masking of spiked LPS controls in Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assays, has been associated with the presence of chelating agents and surfactants in pharmaceutical formulations. The addition of excipients, such as Mg2, have shown the ability to mitigate the effects of LER, however, inconsistencies in various studies regarding the influence of the excipients on LPS aggregate characteristics and LER occurrence hinder a clear understanding of the mechanisms underlying LER.

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of nanostructured Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films combining the conjugated copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PDOF--PEDOT) with spherical and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The LB technique allowed precise control over the molecular arrangement and distribution of the nanoparticles at the air-water interface, resulting in compact, reproducible and structurally ordered nanocomposite films. The structural and morphological properties of the interfacial monolayers and LB films were investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and quartz crystal microbalance.
