TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of the spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric lithium niobate on the adhesion properties of fibroblast cells suggests the potential of LN as a platform for investigating the role of charges on cellular processes, thus favoring new strategies in fabricating those biocompatible constructs used for tissue engineering.

TL;DR: The 3D tracking of micro-objects, based on digital holography, is proposed through the analysis of the complex wavefront of the light scattered by the micro-samples through a direct wavefront analysis at the focal plane overcoming the limitation of the conventional back focal plane interferometry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fast-response fiber-optic accelerometer for seismic monitoring is presented based on a semiconductor diode-laser source that interrogates a newly devised two-dimensional inertial sensor suitable for measurement of horizontal ground acceleration.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ML-DH benefits from the presence of the RBCs, providing enhancement in terms of numerical resolution and noise suppression thus obtaining images whose quality is higher than the quality achievable in the case of a liquid without occlusive objects.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state-of-the-art on the semen analysis and recent achievement obtained by means of digital holography is presented, which is intended both for summarizing the current state of the art and for exploring new possible applications in this field.
