A procedure for creating and imaging capillary bridges in slit-pore geometry is presented. The creation of capillary bridges relies on the formation of pillars to provide a directional physical and chemical heterogeneity to pin the fluid. Capillary bridges are formed and manipulated using microstages and visualized using a CCD camera.

Diagnosis of Eimeria infection in chickens remains demanding. Parasite morphology- and host pathology-led approaches are commonly inconclusive, while molecular approaches based on PCR have proven demanding in cost and expertise. The aim of this protocol is to establish loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) as a straightforward molecular diagnostic for eimerian infection.

This paper reports the protocol for a rapid identification assay for Bemisia tabaci based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology. The protocol requires minimal laboratory training and can, therefore, be implemented on-site at points of entry for plant imports such as seaports and airports.
FAQs
These controls determine how much of the illuminated ocular structure appears and how clearly its features are separated. Higher or lower magnification changes the scale of visible detail, focus determines whether the selected plane is sharp, and illumination angle alters image contrast. Adjusting them lets the operator tailor the recorded image to the structure or abnormality being examined.
The narrow beam creates an illuminated optical section through the cornea and other anterior tissues rather than uniformly lighting the whole field. Its adjustable configuration helps isolate structures for inspection, while the microscope-camera alignment records that selected section. This principle is important when image detail must support later analysis rather than only visual observation.
Digital capture converts the examination into image data that can be measured, compared, or shared. In ophthalmic care, this supports objective documentation and remote consultation; in biomedical engineering, the same data can inform instrument development and automated analysis. The resulting record therefore supports both immediate clinical decision-making and structured research workflows.
A basic workflow begins by selecting magnification, focus, and illumination angle, then directing the narrow beam through the relevant anterior structures while the camera records the illuminated section. The operator can refine these settings to improve detail and contrast before saving the digital image. This controlled sequence produces a more useful record for comparison and analysis.
Slit Lamp Photography is particularly useful when clinicians need a documented view of corneal lesions, cataracts, or inflammation. Capturing images at different points in care helps show treatment outcomes over time. The value lies in preserving visual evidence that can be reviewed alongside the examination, rather than relying only on a transient observation.
Repeated photographs provide a visual record for assessing how ocular findings change during care. They can document treatment outcomes over time and support analysis of differences between examinations. Because the record is image-based, clinicians and researchers can revisit the captured evidence when making or reviewing decisions about the observed condition and response to treatment.
Biomedical engineering can apply the digital images to image-based measurement, automated analysis, and instrument development. Remote consultation is another supported use, while the optical controls provide variables that can be evaluated when designing or refining imaging systems. Together, these capabilities connect ocular image acquisition with quantitative and computational research.
