Doughnut-shaped intensity point spread functions (IPSFs) are compared before (a) and after (c) application of a machine-learning-based adaptive-optic (AO) correction; the IPSF profiles (b, d) along lines I and II are also charted before (blue) and after (magenta) correction.

To create a gold grating on a nanowire array (a), the nanowires themselves (vertical projections) were used as shadow masks by depositing the gold at an angle to the surface, resulting in undeposited areas (dark regions). Future nanowire-based separate absorption and multiplication avalanche photodiodes (SAM-APDs) will have faceted nanowires to help relieve lattice-mismatch strain (b).

FIGURE 1. The transparent zebrafish embryo enables paired patch clamp measurements of spinal neurons and locomotory muscle cells. Two chevron-shaped repetitive segments of tail muscle are shown. The two patch clamp recording electrodes are shown for an individual motoneuron and muscle cell. Only one electrode is visible in the field because placement of the electrodes during formation of whole-cell recording mode is done under very high magnification.
