Abstract: Additive manufacturing systems and methods utilizing an optical light valve configured to spatially modulate the intensity of a laser beam, in conjunction with a writing and erasing sub-system configured to repeatedly write and erase patterns in the optical light valve to repeatedly vary the spatial modulation of the laser beam. In some implementations, the systems and methods may also employ additional laser beams or other energy sources that are not spatially modulated by the optical light valve. In some implementations, the systems and methods may employ additional laser beams or other energy sources configured to reduce surface roughness of the powder or other material being used for additive manufacturing.

Abstract: Microscopy with Ultraviolet Surface Excitation (MUSE) for use in the classroom to enhance life sciences education and curricula, or for other applications, including without limtiation the operating room, other medical environments, research environments, and low resource environments. MUSE's suitability is based on multiple key factors including its simplicity of use, the incorporation of inexpensive hardware including LED illumination, and very basic tissue preparation. The ultraviolet excitation acts as passive optical sectioning confining the generated fluorescence signal to only a few micrometers below the tissue surface thus eliminating the out of focus signals. This facilitates image capture of tissue microstructure and organization from specimens at the intact or sliced surface arising from varying fluorophore concentration within the different cellular compartments. Although just the tissue auto fluorescence maybe used, image quality is enhanced with brief application of nontoxic fluorescent dyes to selectively highlight cellular compartments. Sample preparation is safe, efficient and familiar to students with basic chemistry or biology lab experience. Mixed-dye powders may be used to simplify translation of this method for educational, medical, research, low resource, and other settings.
