The problem of the selection of peaks for the analysis at a total content of chromium (11.50–15.03 wt %), manganese (7.56–12.18 wt %), and iron (66.54–74.08 wt %) is considered. Optimal lines of the spectra of the steels under study are proposed to obtain satisfactory results in qualitative analysis with account for the peak overlap. It is shown that due to the overlap of the peaks, chromium should be determined by the peak relating to the Cr<i>K</i><sub>α</sub> line; manganese, by the peak relating to the Mn<i>K</i><sub>α</sub> line; and iron, by the peak relating to the Fe<i>K</i><sub>β</sub> line. An approach to selecting peaks to determine molybdenum concentrations is described. It has been found that due to the absence of a reliable separation of the peaks relating to the Mo<i>K</i><sub>β1</sub> and Mo<i>K</i><sub>β2.5</sub> lines, the molybdenum content should be determined by the peak relating to the line Mo<i>K</i><sub>α</sub>.

The cases of azimuthally symmetric and asymmetric distortions of the particle surface are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the key parameters of the near-field focal region (intensity, longitudinal and transverse dimensions, focal distance) referred to as the photonic nanojet (PNJ) turn out to be sensitive to changes in the sphere-surface texture. In the process, two parameters, the peak intensity of the PNJ and its length, experience the largest changes. The influence of the optical contrast (the relative refractive index) of the microsphere that scatters radiation on PNJ characteristics is analyzed, and the possibility of reducing the influence of surface roughness on the quality of the near-field focusing by means of microsphere watering (water-uptake) is demonstrated.</p>","PeriodicalId":723,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Spectroscopy","volume":"131 11","pages":"1113 - 1121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140561876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been shown that two-dimensional triangular prisms make it possible to focus light in free space into spots smaller than the scalar diffraction limit. For example, a quartz glass prism with a base width of 60 μm and a height of 28.5 μm illuminated by light with a wavelength of 4 μm produces a photonic nanojet with the maximum intensity that exceeds the incident radiation intensity by a factor of 6 and has a full width at half maximum of 0.38 of the focused radiation wavelength. The focal spot size can be decreased by selecting the height of the prism so as to the maximum intensity was located inside it. In particular, a barium titanate prism with a height of 21 μm and a base width of 60 μm forms a focal spot directly behind its apex with a width at half maximum equal to 0.25 of the focused radiation wavelength. It has been shown that the use of a prism weakens the wavelength dependence of the focal spot width as compared with the case of a microcylinder. In particular, for a quartz glass microcylinder 60 μm in diameter, a change in the wavelength from 3 to 5 μm leads to the spot width variation by 0.09 of the focused radiation wavelength, while for a prism, by 0.05 of the focused radiation wavelength on average.</p>","PeriodicalId":723,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Spectroscopy","volume":"131 11","pages":"1130 - 1136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140562262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The object to study was the whole donor blood diluted by saline and placed into the counting Goryaev camber. Among the standard characteristics of erythrocytes, the following were determined: the concentration of erythrocytes in a blood sample RBC (Red Blood Cells concentration), the scatter of erythrocytes by volume RDW (Red cells Distribution Width), including RDW-SD and RDW-CV, hematocrit HCT, mean erythrocyte volume MCV (Mean Cell Volume). n addition, the possibility of measuring the average hemoglobin content in erythrocyte MCH (Mean Cell Hemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration), as well as the total content of hemoglobin HGB in the blood sample (Hemoglobin) was investigated. The peculiarity of SSCM method proposed lies in the fact that it fundamentally allows to determine not only the general hematological characteristics of blood samples (RBC, RDW-SD and RDW-CV, HGB), but also the mean values of the characteristics of native blood erythrocytes (MCV, MCH, MCHC), and also, and most importantly, the individual characteristics of each erythrocyte. The latter permitted the authors to introduce a new type of erythrocyte characteristics ICV, ICH, ICHC (Individual Cell Volume, Individual Cell Hemoglobin, Individual Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration). In turn, this made it possible to obtain the histograms of hemoglobin distribution in erythrocytes of a blood sample along with the traditional distribution of their volumes, which can serve as an additional tool in the field of hemodiagnostics.
