A bubble cell capillary classically used to extend the optical path length for UV-vis detection is employed here to trap magnetic beads. With this system, a large amount of beads can be captured without inducing a strong pressure drop, as it is the case wi ...
This paper presents a simple, cost-effective and robust atomic force microscope (AFM), which has been purposely designed and built for use as a teaching aid in undergraduate controls labs. The guiding design principle is to have all components be open and ...
We report on advanced 3D direct imaging of light fields emerging from a photonic nanojet. We used an interference microscope that allows observation of amplitude and phase at the highest resolution. For the first time cross polarization interferometry is u ...
A recent transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method using precession electron diffraction (PED) was used to obtain LiFePO4 and FePO 4 phase mapping at the nanometer-scale level on a large number of particles of sizes between 50 and 300 nm in a partially ...
We report the first use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber-made probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The sharp tips were prepared by chemical etching of the fibers in ethyl acetate, and the probes were prepared by proper gl ...
Focused Electron Beam Induced Processing (FEBIP) is a technique used for etching and deposition of micro- and nano-structures using a focused electron beam. FEBIP is commonly carried out in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with a Gas Injection System ( ...
A novel double layer proton exchange membrane (PEM) comprising a layer of structurally modified chitosan, as a methanol barrier layer, coated on Nafion (R) 112 was prepared and assessed for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. Scanning electron m ...
Ni-YSZ anode supports were used to fabricate test cells composed of yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and lanthanum strontium ferrite (LSF) or lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) / YSZ cathodes. These cells were operated at 720 °C at an average ...
We report on a set of experimental measurements aimed to fully characterize both the spatial and angular pattern of the optical modes of photonic crystal microcavities. By using a confocal microscope we resolve the spatial distribution of the mode on the s ...
