Summary: Label-free imaging of nanoscale targets with intrinsic properties is crucial for unveiling the underlying mechanisms of chemistry, physics, and life science. Plasmonic imaging techniques provide real-time imaging and insights into nanoscale detection and nanocatalysis. In this study, a high-resolution plasmonic imaging method is presented, demonstrating its capability to image various nanomaterials and accurately track the interfacial dynamics of nanoparticles. With the simplicity and capacity for label-free and real-time imaging, this approach serves as a promising platform for characterizing nanomaterials at the single-particle level.

Summary: High-throughput super-resolution (SR) imaging is attractive for rapid and high-precision profiling in biomedical applications. The proposed SACD method reduces the number of frames required for SR imaging and enables four-dimensional imaging of live cells and events. SACD improves accessibility to SR imaging and facilitates high-throughput and low-cost biological studies.

Summary: Light-sheet or selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) is suitable for in toto imaging of living specimens at high temporal-spatial resolution, but faces limitations due to light scattering in opaque specimens. The Multiview tiling SPIM (MT-SPIM) combines the strengths of Multi-view SPIM (M-SPIM) and a confined, multi-tiled light sheet, providing high-resolution, robust, and rotation-free imaging of living specimens. It improves axial resolution by a factor of two, enhancing automated segmentation of cellular structures.

Summary: Microlens arrays based on selective wetting offer a new approach for compact and miniaturized imaging and display with ultra-high resolution. However, current selective wetting lenses are limited by the lack of precise pattern for highly controllable wettability contrast, which hinders the practical high-performance microlens arrays.

Summary: The documentation of plant growth and development requires integrative and scalable approaches. Recent developments in mesoscopy, microscopy and nanoscopy methods have been applied to imaging of plant subcellular compartments, cells, tissues, and organs. However, the current LSFM and SRM modalities have limitations and there is a trend towards designing integrated microscopic modalities for broader multiscale plant imaging.

Summary: Manipulating light-matter interaction at the nanoscale is essential for many photonic applications. Optical nanoantennas, made of metallic or dielectric materials, have unique optical properties that allow them to couple electromagnetic waves with subwavelength entities. However, fabricating these nanoantennas in a high-throughput and cost-effective manner remains challenging. In this work, a versatile nanofabrication method is presented, capable of producing large-scale optical nanoantennas with different shapes. Both metallic and dielectric nanoantennas can be easily fabricated in a high-throughput fashion. This method shows potential for a wide range of applications.

Summary: A light-field camera is an optical system that captures multi-field-angle information in a single shot. The microlens array in the camera is crucial for providing this information but its numerical aperture affects the spatial resolution and image quality. In this study, a new microlens array consisting of a larger primary microlens and 72 satellite microlenses is proposed. This array allows for high-resolution image information from different angles and can be easily fabricated at a low cost. The measured spatial resolution of the primary microlens is 53.74 lp/mm higher than that of the satellite microlens when the modulation transfer function is 0.3. The demonstration photograph of the light-field camera shows a high-resolution view along with different views from various angles. This high-resolution light-field camera holds promising potential for applications in object ranging and face recognition in the future.
