Abstract: A method for generating a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil pose atlas based on electromagnetic simulating calculation includes: constructing coil array positions and orientations of a scalp in a standard Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space and matching the coil array positions and orientations of the scalp to a brain space of an individual to obtain coil array positions and orientations of the brain space of the individual; using a finite element calculation method to simulate the coil array positions of the brain space of the individual to obtain induced electric field distributions of brain tissue in different coil orientations; obtaining optimal regulation effects based on the induced electric field distributions of the brain tissue; and obtaining a coil position and orientation corresponding to each optimal regulation effect as an optimal coil pose of each divided brain area of the individual, and constructing a TMS coil pose atlas of the individual.

Abstract: A light sheet imaging system comprises an acoustic trapping arrangement for forming an acoustic trap using one or more acoustic beams and an optical system for light sheet imaging a sample positioned in the acoustic trap. A light sheet imaging method comprises forming an acoustic trap using one or more acoustic beams and light sheet imaging a sample positioned in the acoustic trap. The system and/or the method may be used for light sheet microscopy using acoustic trapping for the contactless confinement of a sample to be imaged such as a particle, a colloid, a cell, a conglomerate of cells (e.g. a cell biopsy), an embryo, a larva or an organism such as a complex organism or a plurality of such samples.
