    VUV spectrophotometry for photomasks characterization at 193 nm

    No full text
    This paper intends to develop a measurement system to characterize photomasks for 193 nm lithography applications. Based on the VUV spectrophotometer at the Fraunhofer IOF institute, some modifications have been addressed to fulfil these special measurements. Characterizations on photomasks have been successfully carried out, which show good correlations to simulations

    Expression of ACKR4 demarcates the "peri-marginal sinus," a specialized vascular compartment of the splenic red pulp.

    The spleen comprises defined microanatomical compartments that uniquely contribute to its diverse host defense functions. Here, we identify a vascular compartment within the red pulp of the spleen delineated by expression of the atypical chemokine receptor 4 (ACKR4) in endothelial cells. ACKR4-positive vessels form a three-dimensional sinusoidal network that connects via shunts to the marginal sinus and tightly surrounds the outer perimeter of the marginal zone. Endothelial cells lining this vascular compartment express ACKR4 as part of a distinct gene expression profile. We show that T cells enter the spleen largely through this peri-marginal sinus and initially localize extravascularly around these vessels. In the absence of ACKR4, homing of T cells into the spleen and subsequent migration into T cell areas is impaired, and organization of the marginal zone is severely affected. Our data delineate the splenic peri-marginal sinus as a compartment that supports spleen homing of T cells
