Article Abstract
In conventional three-dimensional (3D) measurements using lens imaging or holography, the practical sample size in visible light is as large as 50 µm, and the resolution is limited to about 5 µm due to image distortion caused by artifacts. Rigorous calculations of neuronal cell models confirm these limitations in the sample size and resolution for lens imaging. Scatterometry, on the other hand, is a technique to obtain 3D cross-sectional structures by measuring the diffraction patterns of a sample. It is commonly used to rigorously analyze symmetric and periodic structures of semiconductors at high resolution and speed. Despite its high resolution, it has not been applied to isolated, less symmetric structures such as cells. In this study we developed an optical measurement system that enables "one-shot" observation of targeted areas of neurons and a semi-automatic analysis of their asymmetric shape. For sample sizes as small as 1.8 μm, we have achieved measurements without fluorescent labeling, a resolution of 0.2 μm, and high speed.

Designing an AI companion to support informal caregivers in role transition: insights from a design science approach.

Background: As populations age, informal caregivers play an increasingly vital role in long-term care, with 80% of care provided by family members in Europe. However, many individuals do not immediately recognize themselves as caregivers, especially in the early stages. This lack of awareness can increase physical and emotional stress and delay access to support services.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of the preoperative orientation and offset of angle alpha(chord alpha) and angle kappa(chord mu) for visual outcomes in patients who underwent trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Patient records of eyes that underwent AT LISA tri 839MP implantation were retrospectively collected and grouped according to the preoperative offset and orientations of chord alpha and chord mu. The two-dimensional location of each angle was described by the interaction of the orientation and offset.
