    Abstract: Optical methods, devices, and systems for noninvasively detecting transient surface displacements in a neuron are disclosed. Methods, devices, and systems provided may employ a phase-sensitive optical low coherence reflectometer. In addition, surface displacements due to action potential propagation in neural tissues may be detected in some embodiments using back-reflected light. According to some embodiments, exogenous chemicals or reflect ion coatings are not required. Transient neural surface displacement of less than 1 nm in amplitude and 1 ms in duration may be detected and may be generally coincident with action potential arrival to the optical measurement site. The systems and methods may be used for noninvasive detection of various neuropathies such as retinal neuropathies. They may also be useful in detecting the effects of various pharmacological agents.

    Abstract: Described herein is a polarization microscope that uses spectral-encoding of the polarization state for cellular imaging. The spectral-encoded polarization microscope is both sufficiently fast for cellular imaging and is compatible with high extinction optics required to image molecular structures and assemblies. The spectral-encoded microscope allows for the polarization state of light presented to the specimen to sample discrete states over the entirety of the Poincaré sphere while simultaneously giving a null measurement of the observed cellular birefringence. Sampling over the entire Poincaré sphere allows the microscope to determine of specimen phase retardation due to both linear and circular birefringence. The spectral-encoded polarization microscope can be operated in a slightly off-null state that will improve signal-to-noise.

    Abstract: Hydrophobic paramagnetic nanoparticles can be injected with the enhanced oil recovery injection water by incorporating them inside of surfactant micelles to serve as an oil tracer. A variety of paramagnetic nanoparticles that show different susceptibility and magnetization responses to applied magnetic oscillation can be injected at different injectors, so that the origin of the oil from the different enhanced oil recovery patterns could be quantitatively identified. The concentrations of the nanoparticles in the produced crude oil and brine can be easily and instantly measured individually, employing the magnetic susceptibility meter without contacting the fluids directly.
