Single-molecule imaging of transcription factor binding to DNA in live mammalian cells

Imaging single fluorescent proteins in living mammalian cells is challenged by out-of-focus fluorescence excitation. To reduce out-of-focus fluorescence we developed reflected light-sheet microscopy (RLSM), a fluorescence microscopy method allowing selecti ...

The quest for the most spherical bubble: experimental setup and data overview

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Aurèle De Bosset, Marc Tinguely

We describe a recently realized experiment producing the most spherical cavitation bubbles today. The bubbles grow inside a liquid from a point plasma generated by a nanosecond laser pulse. Unlike in previous studies, the laser is focussed by a parabolic m ...

Contactless deflection sensing of concave and convex shapes assisted by soft mirrors

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Ionut Halasz

Typical deflection sensors like strain gauges or devices based on optical fibers require physical contact with the deflected substrate during the measurement process. Such contact, however, impacts on the softness of the substrate and may falsify the measu ...

Optical characterization of fully programmable MEMS diffraction gratings

Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell, Robert Andrew Lockhart

We have fabricated and characterized fully programmable diffraction gratings consisting of 64 silicon micro-mirrors. The mirrors are 700 mu m long and 50 mu m wide with a fill factor of 90%. They are actuated electrostatically and move down by 1.25 mu m wh ...

Large MEMS-based programmable reflective slit mask for multi-object spectroscopy fabricated using multiple wafer-level bonding

Nico de Rooij, Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell

Multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) allows measuring infrared spectra of faint astronomical objects that provides information on the evolution of the Universe. MOS requires a slit mask for object selection at the focal plane of the telescope. We are developing ...

Study of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based bimorph actuators for laser scanning actuation at kHz frequency range

Hannes Bleuler, Ricardo Pérez Suárez

This work focuses on some promising applications of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based bimorph actuators in microengineering. The actuator of several centimeters in length and 100 mu m in thickness takes advantage of the structural and electromechanical ...

Reflow Of Non-Circular Nano-Pillars To Fabricate Nano-Scale Solid Immersion Lenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the reflow of non-circular, i.e., triangular and square, shaped pillars to fabricate nano-scale solid immersion lenses (SILs). Electron beam lithography (EBL) and thermal reflow are the core of the fabrication process. For the optical charac ...

Biomimetic soft lithography on curved nanostructured surfaces

Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Kiefer, Valentin Flauraud, Vaida Auzelyte

In this paper a nano-molding process using a nature-created master is demonstrated. The eye of night moth Agotis exclamationis having 100 nm-scale structures on a curved surface is used as biomimetic master mold from which nanostructures are replicated ont ...
