Pros / Cons
Methods of improve of Simultaneous illumination
Methods of improve of Simultaneous illumination (2)
Using two beam scanning system (ordermade)
Laser beam illumination profile can be controlled with 1msec resolution.
The beam size enlargement with focus adjustment unit can be applied independently.
Demo Movie 1 CW laser illumination (Selected area illumination )
Boundary selection is set by mouse clicking on image. Laser illumination amount can be adjusted by moving speed and laser intensity
Demo Movie 2 Laser cell selection (Pulsedlaser)
Selected cells are killed by laser illumination in closed chamber. Observation is fluorescent
Demo Movie 3 Object tracking
Laser illumination with image analysis (intensity analysis) is also possible

Feature of PST
Feature 1: textures and features are detected similarly without any influence of brightness
Feature 2: specimens are easily detected however illumination is insufficient
Feasibility test1: stable texture detection against different illumination level
Background:
As a texture value which is used in image based AI analysis and machine learning is based on pixel intensities, the value changes with illumination level. And a morphology value which is also
used in AI analysis may change with boundary width.
Test result:
We prepared intentionally made 6 images with different illumination. However the texture values are varied with different illumination level without PST, the texture values are stabled with PST
Feasibility test 2: cell daughter analysis from dark images with 1/4 brightness
Background:
It is hard to make cell daughter analysis with photo toxic cells because cells have damages from
illumination.
Test result:
By applying PST on time lapse images whose brightness level is darkened to 1/4 level, cell daughter analysis of B cells is successively made. Collaborator: Prof. Alexander Hoffmann, Signaling Systems Laboratory, UCLA
As a collaboration work with Prof. Jalali, Pinpoint Photonics, Inc. is searching business application of PST
