Normalized level set model for segmentation of low-contrast objects in 2- and 3- dimensional images

The paper introduces a normalized level set model to improve segmentation of low-contrast objects in 2D and 3D biomedical images.

Assembly and operation of a cooling stage to immobilize C. elegans on their culture plates

This paper describes the construction and use of a cooling stage to immobilize C. elegans on culture plates for high-resolution imaging.

Use of sugarcane mosaic virus for virus-induced gene silencing in maize

This study uses sugarcane mosaic virus to induce gene silencing in maize, showing it can effectively silence endogenous genes and assess the role of JA-Ile metabolism in plant defense.

Transverse and axial resolution of femtosecond laser ablation

This study measures the transverse and axial resolution of femtosecond laser ablation in transparent media and living organisms, finding similar resolution in both directions.

High-throughput submicron-resolution microscopyof entire C. elegans populations under strongimmobilization by cooling cultivation plates

This study develops a cooling method to immobilize C. elegans for high-throughput submicron-resolution microscopy, achieving faster imaging with reduced preparation time.

Rapid screening of pest resistance genes in maize using a sugarcane mosaic virus vector

This study uses a sugarcane mosaic virus vector to rapidly test the efficacy of various transgenes against maize pests, finding reduced larval growth in most cases.

Confocal imaging capacity on a widefield microscope using a spatial light modulator

This paper enhances widefield microscopes with a spatial light modulator to achieve confocal-like optical sectioning, improving visualization of dim neuronal fibers in C. elegans.
