Optical-sectioning, digital fluorescence microscopy provides images representing temporally- and spatially-resolved molecular-scale details of the substructures of living cells. To render such images into solid models for further computational analyses, we have developed an integrated system of imag

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The authors have developed a tomographic diffractive microscope that combines microholography with illumination from an angular synthetic aperture. It images specimens relative to their complex index of refraction distribution (index and absorption) and permits imaging of unlabelled specimens, with high lateral resolution. The authors now study its use for biological applications, and imaged several preparations with fluorescence confocal microscopy and tomographic diffractive microscopy. The results highlight some interesting features of this instrument, which should attract the interest of biologists for this new technique. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

A cubic member of the M41S family with a three-dimensional pore system, denoted as MCM-48, was synthesised. By combining X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) with high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), a cubic symmetry with an Ia3d space group was determined for the as-synthesised and the calcined MC
## Abstract The aim of this report is to demonstrate a unified version of microscopy through the use of advanced diffractive optics. The unified scheme derives from the technical possibility of realizing front wave engineering in a wide range of electromagnetic spectrum. The unified treatment is re
