Morphological examination of nitrifying biofilms in a moving bed biofilm reactor using optical coherence tomography and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Proceedings WEFTEC.16
Abstract: We present an imaging and image analysis approach to quantify both the overall morphology and the spatial distribution of nitrifying guilds in mixed-culture, nitrifying biofilms enriched on K1 carriers. For image acquisition we used optical coherence tomography to non-destructively visualize the three dimensional structure of entire internal cavities and fluorescent in situ ...

Quantitative image analysis of mesoscale biofilm structure with optical coherence tomography. Proceedings WEFTEC.15
Abstract: The metabolic processes supported in a biofilm are often determined by a biofilm’s mesoscale structure (10-4-10-2 meter scale), and mesoscale structure is in turn shaped by the interplay between microbial metabolism and detachment. Despite the widespread adoption of biofilm reactors for water pollution control, much is unknown regarding the relationship between mesoscale biofilm ...

Optical Coherence Tomography
Looking inside membrane fouling with optical coherence tomography (OCT) Internal Imaging in Real-time Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses light scattering to show cross-sections of a 3D object (1). OCT has a resolution between 1 - 15 µm, which is about two orders of magnitude finer than traditional ultrasound (2). While this technique was originally ...

What's the Big Deal About Patents?
Without innovation and patents, we might still be using candles or oil to light up our homes at night. On January 27, 1880, Thomas Edison received his historic patent that covered the principles of the incandescent lamp. This helped pave the way for the worldwide use of electric light.While Edison was not the first inventor trying to create a useable light source, he succeeded and surpassed ...
