Facilitations in the Clinical Diagnosis of Human Scabies through the Use of Ultraviolet Light (UV-Scab Scanning): A Case-Series Study by Gaetano Scanni

“…Background: To confirm the suspicion of scabies, dermatologists have one pathognomonic sign, “the tunnel” through which <i>Sarcoptes scabiei</i> digs into the epidermis. Light microscopy is considered the most reliable procedure, but it is time-consuming and operator-dependent. …”

Lipofuscin-like autofluorescence within microglia and its impact on studying microglial engulfment by Jacob M. Stillman, Francisco Mendes Lopes, Jing-Ping Lin, Kevin Hu, Daniel S. Reich, Dorothy P. Schafer

“…Among the techniques used to measure microglial engulfment, confocal light microscopy has been used the most extensively. Here, we show that autofluorescence (AF) likely due to lipofuscin (lipo-AF) and typically associated with aging, can also be detected within microglial lysosomes in the young mouse brain by light microscopy. …”

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease: clinical manifestations by M.A. Cimmino, R. Andracco, C. Ferrone

“…Diagnosis is based on evaluation of history and clinical features, conventional radiology, and synovial fluid examination. Non-polarized light microscopy should be used initially to screen for CPPD crystals based upon their characteristic morphology, and compensated polarized light microscopy, showing the crystals to be weakly positive birefringent, is recommended for definitive identification, although this last pattern only occurs in about 20% of samples. …”

The hair cell analysis toolbox is a precise and fully automated pipeline for whole cochlea hair cell quantification. by Christopher J Buswinka, Richard T Osgood, Rubina G Simikyan, David B Rosenberg, Artur A Indzhykulian

“…Our sense of hearing is mediated by sensory hair cells, precisely arranged and highly specialized cells subdivided into outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs). Light microscopy tools allow for imaging of auditory hair cells along the full length of the cochlea, often yielding more data than feasible to manually analyze. …”

Liquid–Solid Core-Shell Microcapsules of Calcium Carbonate Coated Emulsions and Liposomes by Mark A. Bewernitz, Archana C. Lovett, Laurie B. Gower

“…Using the biomimetic polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) mineralization process, calcium carbonate coatings were deposited on charged emulsion droplets and liposomes. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and confocal fluorescence microscopy were used to demonstrate that smooth CaCO₃ mineral coatings can be deposited onto the high curvature surfaces of emulsions and liposomes to yield micron-sized microcapsules for the effective entrapment of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic active agents. …”
