Source: Derek Wilson, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA Light travels at different speeds depending on the material through which it is propagating. When light travels from one material to another, it will either slow down or speed up. In order to conserve energy and momentum, the light must change the direction in which it propagates. This bending of light is known as refraction. Some fraction of the...

Interference Reflection Microscopy for Label-Free Visualization of Microtubule Dynamics

In this video, we describe the interference reflection microscopy (IRM) technique to visualize microtubules growing on a coverslip surface in the presence of a suitable buffer. Upon illumination with incident light, the coverslip-buffer interface and buffer-microtubule interface reflect light, which combines to create an interference pattern, enabling the visualization of microtubules as high-contrast images against a bright background.

Endothelial corneal transplantation is a surgical technique for treatment of posterior corneal diseases. Mechanical microkeratome dissection to prepare tissue results in thinner, more symmetric grafts with less endothelial cell loss and improved outcomes. Dissections can be performed at the eye bank prior to corneal transplantation surgery.

The key signal is the changing geometry between two image features: the pupil and the corneal glint. As the eye rotates, their relative positions shift in a systematic way, providing a measurable basis for estimating gaze direction. This relationship converts an optical measurement into information about where the eyes are directed during a visual task.
Infrared illumination supplies the optical condition needed to make the corneal reflection visible to the tracking camera. The resulting glint acts as a reference feature on the cornea, while the pupil provides the second feature used for comparison. Their paired measurement helps distinguish gaze-related geometric changes from information provided by a single image feature alone.
Calibration establishes how measured pupil-glint geometry corresponds to locations in the visual scene. By mapping the recorded relationship to gaze positions, the system can translate subsequent eye measurements into scene coordinates. This step matters because the optical geometry must be related to the particular viewing setup before gaze data can support behavioral or perceptual analysis.
In neuroscience, the method can connect gaze measurements with visual attention, oculomotor control, and perception. Eye position provides an observable behavioral signal that can be examined alongside the visual task or scene being viewed. This makes the technique useful for studying how directed looking and eye-movement control relate to perceptual behavior without requiring invasive measurement.
A typical recording sequence begins with infrared illumination of the eye, followed by camera capture of the pupil and corneal glint. The system then measures their relative geometry, applies a calibration that maps those measurements to the visual scene, and uses the resulting gaze estimates for experimental analysis. Each stage converts optical images into interpretable eye-position data.
It is useful when a study needs a noninvasive estimate of gaze direction during visual behavior. In neuroscience, researchers can use it to examine visual attention, oculomotor control, or perception. The same approach also supports behavioral research, human-computer interaction, and clinical assessment, extending its value from basic experiments to applied evaluation of how people look at visual information.
