Here, we present a protocol to use a curvelet transform-based, open-source MATLAB software tool for quantifying fibrillar collagen organization in the extracellular matrix of both normal and diseased tissues. This tool can be applied to images with collagen fibers or other types of line-like structures.

This method aims at locating vertical subsurface defects. Here, we couple a laser with a spatial light modulator and trigger its video input to heat a sample surface deterministically with two anti-phased modulated lines while acquiring highly resolved thermal images. The defect position is retrieved from evaluating thermal wave interference minima.

For this study synchrotron radiation micro-tomography, a non-destructive three-dimensional imaging technique, is employed to investigate an entire microelectronic package with a cross-sectional area of 16 x 16 mm. Due to the synchrotron's high flux and brightness the sample was imaged in just 3 min with an 8.7 µm spatial resolution.

A number of different procedures for preparing nanoparticles for surface analysis are presented (drop casting, spin coating, deposition from powders, and cryofixation). We discuss the challenges, opportunities, and possible applications of each method, particularly regarding the changes in the surface properties caused by the different preparation methods.
FAQs
Ranking makes the comparison depend on the relative order of observations within each matched block rather than on their original numerical magnitudes. For each participant or other matched unit, the conditions receive ranks, and those ranks are then combined across blocks. This preserves the within-unit comparison while accounting for the fact that repeated observations are dependent.
The Friedman test is an alternative when repeated-measures data are unsuitable for a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA because the outcome is ordinal or does not meet the relevant distributional assumptions. Both approaches address several related conditions, but the Friedman procedure bases its evidence on within-block ranks, making it appropriate when raw-value assumptions are not well supported.
A significant Friedman result indicates that the observed rank totals differ across conditions more than would be expected by chance under the test. It does not identify which specific conditions differ, nor does it establish that every condition differs from every other. Researchers therefore interpret the omnibus result as evidence that at least one condition differs.
To prepare an analysis, arrange observations into matched blocks, such as repeated measurements from the same participants, with one observation for each condition in each block. Rank the condition values within every block, sum the resulting ranks by condition, and evaluate whether those totals show greater separation than chance would predict.
Post hoc paired comparisons follow a significant omnibus result when the goal is to locate the differences. These comparisons examine conditions in pairs while retaining the matched structure of the data. Their role is diagnostic: they show where the overall difference lies, whereas the Friedman test itself only supports the conclusion that at least one condition differs.
Researchers select this method when the same participants or matched units are observed under three or more conditions and the outcome is ordinal or non-normally distributed. It is useful in statistics because it accommodates within-subject dependence without requiring the analysis to rely on the raw measurements in the same way as a repeated-measures ANOVA.
