Phase-Contrast and Dark Field Microscopy

A main obstacle in the microscopy of biological objects is their poor contrast. Only where a contrast exists or where it can be achieved by contrast-enhancing dyes, structures can be made visible. Light-absorbing parts of a preparation weaken the amplitude of the light waves that pass through them. It is thus also spoken of amplitude preparations. The change of stronger and feebler light is perceived by the eye as a difference in brightness. The invisible parts of the preparation are went through by the light without a change of amplitude, but the phase of the light may be changed depending on the consistency of the material. This change is due to the altered speed of the lightwaves. Differences in phase can be perceived neither by the eye nor by a photographical film. Read more

Higher vitamin C levels associated with improved vascular function in type 1 diabetes

In an article published online on June 24, 2009 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Scandinavian researchers report that young type 1 diabetic patients with higher vitamin C levels have better vascular function compared to those with lower levels of the vitamin. Vascular function and structure changes can occur early in type 1 diabetes, and are associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular mortality later in life.

Petru Liuba and Michael Odermarsky of Lund University Hospital in Sweden, along with Jens Lykkesfeldt of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, recruited 33 male and 26 female diabetic patients between the ages of 10 and 22 for the current study. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT, which measures atherosclerosis), assessments of cutaneous microvascular function, cardiac depolarization and repolarization (evaluated via electrocardiogram as QT interval corrected for heart rate, which, when prolonged, is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular prognosis), lipids, and plasma C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, vitamin C and oxidized vitamin C (dehydroascorbic acid) were assessed.
