In an aspect, a method for additive manufacture of a three-dimensional object based on a computational model comprises steps of: grayscale photohardening a precursor material to form a portion of the object; and applying a hardened meniscus coating at a feature of the object; wherein the three-dimensional object is formed via at least the combination of the steps of gray scale photohardening and applying the meniscus coating. In some embodiments, the grayscale photohardening step is a grayscale photopolymerization step. In some embodiments, the applying a hardened meniscus coating step is a meniscus equilibrium post-curing step.

High-throughput 3D printing of customized aspheric imaging lenses

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for the determining a rate of change of one or more analyte concentrations in a target using non invasive non contact imaging techniques such as OCT. Generally, OCT data is acquired and optical information is extracted from OCT scans to quantitatively determine a flow rate of fluid in the target; angiography is also performed using one or more fast scanning methods to determine a concentration of one or more analytes. Both calculations can provide a means to determine a change in rate of an analyte over time. Example methods and systems of the disclosure may be used in assessing metabolism of a tissue, where oxygen is the analyte detected, or other functional states, and be generally used for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease.

Devices, methods, and systems of functional optical coherence tomography

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for the determining a rate of change of one or more analyte concentrations in a target using non invasive non contact imaging techniques such as OCT. Generally, OCT data is acquired and optical information is extracted from OCT scans to quantitatively determine both a flow rate of fluid in the target and a concentration of one or more analytes. Both calculations can provide a means to determine a change in rate of an analyte over time. Example methods and systems of the disclosure may be used in assessing metabolism of a tissue, where oxygen is the analyte detected, or other functional states, and be generally used for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease.
