Three-dimensional chemical analysis of laser-welded NiTi–stainless steel wires using a dual-beam FIB

Michel Rappaz, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Marco Cantoni, Pierre Burdet, Jonas Vannod

The biomedical industry has an increasing demand for processes to join dissimilar metals, such as laser welding of NiTi and stainless steel wires. A region of the weld close to the NiTi interface, which previously was shown to be prone to cracking, was fur ...

Bipolar resistivity profiling of 3D tissue culture

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, Olof Pontus Linderholm, Jonas Vannod

We describe a new low-cost technique for continuous monitoring of the thickness of biofilms and tissue cultures, and we demonstrate the advantage of using electrodes of different dimensions to probe different depths of a sample. We have used electric imped ...

Two-dimensional impedance imaging of cell migration and epithelial stratification

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, Thomas Michael Braschler, Olof Pontus Linderholm, Jonas Vannod

We present a miniaturized impedance imaging system, developed for 2D imaging of cell and tissue culture. The system is based on 16 microelectrodes (5 µm × 4 mm). An equivalent circuit for four-point (tetrapolar) impedance spectra was developed and validate ...
