• Design for a 10keV multi-pass transmission electron microscope. Ultramicroscopy Koppell, S. A., Mankos, M., Bowman, A. J., Israel, Y., Juffmann, T., Klopfer, B. B., Kasevich, M. A. 2019; 207: 112834

  Abstract

  Multi-pass transmission electron microscopy (MPTEM) has been proposed as a way to reduce damage to radiation-sensitive materials. For the field of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), this would significantly reduce the number of projections needed to create a 3D model and would allow the imaging of lower-contrast, more heterogeneous samples. We have designed a 10keV proof-of-concept MPTEM. The column features fast-switching gated electron mirrors which cause each electron to interrogate the sample multiple times. A linear approximation for the multi-pass contrast transfer function (CTF) is developed to explain how the resolution depends on the number of passes through the sample.

• Quantum correlation enhanced super-resolution localization microscopy enabled by a fibre bundle camera NATURE COMMUNICATIONS Israel, Y., Tenne, R., Oron, D., Silberberg, Y. 2017; 8

  Abstract

  Despite advances in low-light-level detection, single-photon methods such as photon correlation have rarely been used in the context of imaging. The few demonstrations, for example of subdiffraction-limited imaging utilizing quantum statistics of photons, have remained in the realm of proof-of-principle demonstrations. This is primarily due to a combination of low values of fill factors, quantum efficiencies, frame rates and signal-to-noise characteristic of most available single-photon sensitive imaging detectors. Here we describe an imaging device based on a fibre bundle coupled to single-photon avalanche detectors that combines a large fill factor, a high quantum efficiency, a low noise and scalable architecture. Our device enables localization-based super-resolution microscopy in a non-sparse non-stationary scene, utilizing information on the number of active emitters, as gathered from non-classical photon statistics.

• Supersensitive Polarization Microscopy Using NOON States of Light PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Israel, Y., Rosen, S., Silberberg, Y. 2014; 112 (10)

  Abstract

  A quantum polarized light microscope using entangled NOON states with N=2 and N=3 is shown to provide phase supersensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. We constructed such a microscope and imaged birefringent objects at a very low light level of 50 photons per pixel, where shot noise seriously hampers classical imaging. The NOON light source is formed by combining a coherent state with parametric down-converted light. We were able to show improved phase images with sensitivity close to the Heisenberg limit.

• Sub-Rayleigh Lithography Using High Flux Loss-Resistant Entangled States of Light PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Rosen, S., Afek, I., Israel, Y., Ambar, O., Silberberg, Y. 2012; 109 (10)

  Abstract

  Quantum lithography achieves phase superresolution using fragile, experimentally challenging entangled states of light. We propose a scalable scheme for creating features narrower than classically achievable with reduced use of quantum resources and, consequently, enhanced resistance to loss. The scheme is an implementation of interferometric lithography using a mixture of a spontaneous parametric down-converted entangled state with intense classical coherent light. We measure coincidences of up to four photons mimicking multiphoton absorption. The results show a narrowing of the interference fringes of up to 30% with respect to the best analogous classical scheme using only 10% of the nonclassical light required for creating NOON states.

• Transient Anomalous Diffusion of Telomeres in the Nucleus of Mammalian Cells PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Bronstein, I., Israel, Y., Kepten, E., Mai, S., Shav-Tal, Y., Barkai, E., Garini, Y. 2009; 103 (1)

  Abstract

  We measured individual trajectories of fluorescently labeled telomeres in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells in the time range of 10(-2)-10(4)sec by combining a few acquisition methods. At short times the motion is subdiffusive with r2 approximately talpha and it changes to normal diffusion at longer times. The short times diffusion may be explained by the reptation model and the transient diffusion is consistent with a model of telomeres that are subject to a local binding mechanism with a wide but finite distribution of waiting times. These findings have important biological implications with respect to the genome organization in the nucleus.
