TL;DR: The optical noise and pulse compressibility of three high-power fiber Cherenkov radiation sources developed recently are compared, and their potential to replace the existing supercontinuum sources in imaging techniques is evaluated.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that matrix stiffness can also regulate dermal fibroblasts activities to remodel, repair, and recreate skin dermis, but this has not yet been systematically demonstrated to date.

TL;DR: OCT is an emerging imaging modality which allows real-time cross-sectional imaging with high resolutions that approach those of histology as discussed by the authors, which has the potential to be used as an adjunct to histological tissue observation when it is not practical to take specimens for histological processing, when large areas of tissue need investigating, or when rapid microscopic imaging is needed.

TL;DR: The objective grade about the thickness of perforation margins and the accurate information about the extent of TM retraction that was not distinguishable by oto-endoscopic exam could be identified using this system and suggest another useful application of the handheld OCT device.

TL;DR: A wide-field optical coherence tomography probe was developed that adapts a diagonal-scanning scheme for three-dimensional (3D) in vivo imaging of the human tympanic membrane and motion artifacts that occur with the use of handheld probes were found to be decreased.
