Combined Optical Coherence and Fluorescence Microscopy to assess dynamics and specificity of pancreatic beta-cell tracers

Theo Lasser, Antonio Lopez, Anne Grapin-Botton, Corinne Berclaz, Christophe Pache, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag

The identification of a beta-cell tracer is a major quest in diabetes research. However, since MRI, PET and SPECT cannot resolve individual islets, optical techniques are required to assess the specificity of these tracers. We propose to combine Optical Co ...

Optical coherence correlation spectroscopy (OCCS)

Marcel Leutenegger, Theo Lasser, Stéphane Broillet, Stefan Geissbühler, Christophe Pache, Arno Pino Bouwens, Akihiro Sato

We present a new method called optical coherence correlation spectroscopy (OCCS) using nanoparticles as reporters of kinetic processes at the single particle level. OCCS is a spectral interferometry based method, thus giving simultaneous access to several ...

Contrast Enhancement in Optical Coherence Microscopy

Christophe Pache

Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM) is a three-dimensional imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of the subsurface microstructure of biological tissue, with a high axial and lateral resolution. In OCM, a low time coherence light source is sp ...

Fast three-dimensional imaging of gold nanoparticles in living cells with photothermal optical lock-in Optical Coherence Microscopy

Christian Santschi, Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger, Corinne Berclaz, Christophe Pache, Matthew Gibson, Joan Goulley, Noelia Laura Bocchio, Arno Pino Bouwens

We introduce photothermal optical lock-in Optical Coherence Microscopy (poli-OCM), a volumetric imaging technique, which combines the depth sectioning of OCM with the high sensitivity of photothermal microscopy while maintaining the fast acquisition speed ...

Label-free imaging of cerebral β-amyloidosis with extended-focus optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger, Corinne Berclaz, Christophe Pache, Patrick Fraering, Tristan Bolmont, Mitko Dimitrov, Arno Pino Bouwens

We demonstrate label-free imaging of cerebral β-amyloidosis ex vivo and in a living mouse model of Alzheimer's disease using extended focus Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy (xfOCM). xfOCM provides 3D, high-resolution images of individual β-amylo ...

Dark field optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger, Christophe Pache

The invention relates to an optical coherence microscopy system for fast, phase resolved imaging by means of optical coherence microscopy with decoupled illumination and detection apertures, producing a dark-field effect with an enhanced optical contrast. ...

Dark-field optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger, Christophe Pache

Dark-field illumination is known to enhance scattering contrast in optical microscopy. We combined this concept with Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The detection and illumination paths are decoupled, and only the scattered light origina ...

Digital holographic microscopy real-time monitoring of cytoarchitectural alterations during simulated microgravity

Christian Depeursinge, Jonas Kühn, Jérôme Parent, Christophe Pache, Muhammed Fatih Toy, Marcel Egli

Previous investigations on mammalian cells have shown that microgravity, either that experienced in space, or simulated on earth, causes severe cellular modifications that compromise tissue determination and function. The aim of this study is to investigat ...
