The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) supports the sensory retina through recycling visual cycle byproducts, which accumulate as lipofuscin. These products are autofluorescent and can be qualitatively imaged in vivo. Here, we describe a method to quantitatively image RPE lipofuscin using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

The present protocol develops an image-based technique for rapid, non-destructive, and label-free regional cell density and viability measurement within 3D tumor aggregates. Findings revealed a cell-density gradient, with higher cell densities in core regions than outer layers in developing aggregates and predominantly peripheral cell death in HER2+ aggregates treated with Trastuzumab.

Non-destructive Tests for Concrete Strength

The rebound hammer test, also known as the Schmidt hammer test, is a non-destructive technique for evaluating the hardness of concrete and, indirectly, the strength of concrete. It operates on the principle that the rebound of a spring-driven mass from a concrete surface correlates to the surface's hardness. The device comprises a mass within a tubular housing, a spring mechanism, and a plunger that strikes the concrete. Upon release, the energy imparted to the mass by the spring causes it to...
FAQs
The process applies a controlled stimulus and examines the resulting response for measurable changes associated with the tested object. Engineers interpret those signals to estimate properties such as defect size, defect location, thickness, or overall material integrity. This conversion from response to numerical information makes inspection results suitable for comparison, monitoring, and engineering decisions.
Different stimuli reveal different responses from materials and structures. Acoustic energy, electromagnetic fields, radiation, and heat can each provide a basis for evaluating condition through the signals they produce. Selecting an appropriate stimulus helps relate the measured response to the characteristic being estimated, such as thickness, internal flaws, location, or changes in material integrity.
Flaw detection establishes that an irregularity may be present, whereas quantitative evaluation seeks numerical information about its significance. Estimates of size, location, or related condition allow engineers to compare findings with design limits and assess changes over time. This added measurement perspective supports more focused decisions than a result based only on presence or absence.
A general workflow begins by selecting and applying a controlled stimulus to the material, component, or structure. The resulting signal is then measured and interpreted to estimate relevant characteristics, including defect dimensions, position, thickness, or material integrity. Engineers can use those numerical results to compare condition with design limits, identify degradation, and guide subsequent decisions.
Engineers use the measurements to determine current condition without sacrificing the future use of the inspected object. Numerical findings can help identify where degradation has occurred, track its progression through structural health monitoring, and prioritize repairs. This supports maintenance planning by connecting inspection results with design limits and the relative condition of components or structures.
The approach supports flaw detection, quality control, structural health monitoring, and maintenance planning. In quality control, measurements help assess whether a component meets expected conditions. During service, repeated or condition-focused evaluation can provide information for tracking degradation. Across these applications, numerical results strengthen decisions about integrity, repair priorities, and continued engineering use.
