Digital holographic microscopy provides the ability to observe throughout a volume that is large compared to its resolution without the need to actively refocus to capture the entire volume. This enables simultaneous observations of large numbers of small objects within such a volume. We have constructed a microscope that can observe a volume of 0.4 µm × 0.4 µm × 1.0 µm with submicrometer resolution (in xy) and 2 µm resolution (in z) for observation of microorganisms and minerals in liquid environments on Earth and on potential planetary missions. Because environmental samples are likely to contain mixtures of inorganics and microorganisms of comparable sizes near the resolution limit of the instrument, discrimination between living and non-living objects may be difficult. The active motion of motile organisms can be used to readily distinguish them from non-motile objects (live or inorganic), but additional methods are required to distinguish non-motile organisms and inorganic objects that are of comparable size but different composition and structure. We demonstrate the use of passive motion to make this discrimination by evaluating diffusion and buoyancy characteristics of cells, styrene beads, alumina particles, and gas-filled vesicles of micron scale in the field of view.

The Temple

Through this study, equipment was developed which could work large size stones into linear and curve shaped cutting planes and cut polygonal shaped stones during the lapping and semi-finishing works which are pre-tasks to manufacture the large size building column or large size stone statue which is installed in the temple. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text. Safety of equipment could be secured using design program and structure interpreting program and productivity could be improved by reducing the required manpower and working time for rough grinding and semi-finishing works through positioning control module. This technology is expected to be utilized in manufacturing various stone equipments by applying the working path generation and oil pressure technologies as the type of NC work equipments as well as in future working area.

The way in which the head is controlled in roll was investigated by dissociating the body axis and the gravito-inertial force orientation. Seated subjects (N = 8) were requested to align their head with their trunk, 30° to the left, 30° to the right or with the gravito-inertial vector, before, during (Per Rotation), after off-center rotation and on a tilted chair without rotation (Tilted). The gravito-inertial vector angle during rotation and the chair tilt angle were identical (17°). The subjects were either in total darkness or facing a visual frame that was fixed to the trunk. Both final error and within-subject variability of head positioning increased when the body axis and the gravito-inertial vector were dissociated (Per Rotation and Tilted). However, the behavior was different depending on whether the subjects were in the Tilted or Per Rotation conditions. The presentation of the visual frame reduced the within-subject variability and modified the perception of the gravito-inertial vector's orientation on the tilted chair. As head positioning with respect to the body and sensing of the gravito-inertial vector are modified when body axis and gravito-inertial vector orientation are dissociated, the observed decrease in performance while executing motor tasks in a gravito-inertial field may be at least in part attributed to the inaccurate sensing of head position.

Optimal Velocity

Abstract A dynamic holographic optical trap uses a dynamic diffractive optical element such as a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to realize one or more optical traps with independent controls. Such holographic optical traps provide a number of flexibilities and conveniences useful in various applications. One key requirement for such a trap is the ability to move the trapped microscopic object from one point to the other with the optimal velocity. In this paper we develop a nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator based holographic optical trap and experimentally investigate the optimal velocity feasible for trapped beads of different sizes, in such a trap. Our results show that the achievable velocity of the trapped bead is a function of size of the bead, step size, interval between two steps and power carried by the laser beam. We observe that the refresh rate of a nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator is sufficient to achieve an optimal velocity approaching the theoretical limit in the respective holographic trap for beads with radius larger than the wavelength of light.
