The Secondary Optical Design and Fabrication for the Uniform Illuminating LED Spotlight Using TIR Lens

Different with the fact that the traditional imaging optics emphasizes its ability to get clear image on the image plane, the purpose of LED illumination design is to meet the requirement of high availability of optical energy and homogeneity of illumination. As the study object, the LED track lighting has been designed with secondary optical design by the Lighttools design software. After using TIR lens which has two ways of concentrating: reflectors and lenses, the exit light of the spotlight will be adjusted and the illuminated surface will be with high homogeneity. Therefore, it will reduce the harm of the light to human’s eyes. In this study, the LED spotlights have been produced and tested with the corresponding test results: Lighting power is 7W, luminous efficiency is 82.57lm/W, color rendering index is 83.7, the main wavelength is 488.2nm, the ratio of red, green, blue is 13.1: 83.0: 3.9

Sphingolipids at Plasmodesmata: Structural Components and Functional Modulators

Plasmodesmata (PD) are plant-specific channels connecting adjacent cells to mediate intercellular communication of molecules essential for plant development and defense. The typical PD are organized by the close apposition of the plasma membrane (PM), the desmotubule derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and spoke-like elements linking the two membranes. The plasmodesmal PM (PD-PM) is characterized by the formation of unique microdomains enriched with sphingolipids, sterols, and specific proteins, identified by lipidomics and proteomics. These components modulate PD to adapt to the dynamic changes of developmental processes and environmental stimuli. In this review, we focus on highlighting the functions of sphingolipid species in plasmodesmata, including membrane microdomain organization, architecture transformation, callose deposition and permeability control, and signaling regulation. We also briefly discuss the difference between sphingolipids and sterols, and we propose potential unresolved questions that are of help for further understanding the correspondence between plasmodesmal structure and function
