Abstract: Provided herein are immunofluorescence assays that do not use an intensely colored lipophilic dye, and that result in a significant reduction of fluorescence due to aldehyde fixation, collagen, elastin, and/or red blood cells. In certain embodiments of the present invention, a two-step treatment of the tissue is contemplated that leads to the incorporation of reduced heteropoly acids or salts thereof (e.g., phosphomolybdate species) in the tissue. This reagent binds tightly to hydrophilic regions of the tissue and effectively quenches the fluorescence in those regions. In doing so, the overall signal-to-noise ratio for the immunofluorescence assay is increased.

Inventor: SHIRAKURA AKIRA
IPC: G09F13/18
Filed: 2018-04-25
Abstract: [Problem] 
     Propagation of parallel light inside thin glass or plastic material had not been considered to be feasible because of difficulties in producing parallel light with large aspect ratio and in light-guiding it into thin material. For this reason, there had been a problem that holograms of edge-lit reproduction type were not being brought to practical use. 
     [Means for Solution] 
     A compact, simple collimator optics has been successfully made by placing a holographic diffraction grating close to a diverging light source to propagate it at the critical angle inside the medium. By making an array of this diffraction grating it has become possible to propagate parallel light of any aspect ratio inside a thin plate. Hitherto unrealized image display devices and signal devices have become possible by using the holographic diffraction gratings as described in the foregoing, or other diffraction optical elements, to introduce light from a plurality of light sources, in combination with edge-lit reproduction type image holograms.
