Life sciences have a constantly growing need for novel methodological approaches suitable to investigate the intracellular environment with increased temporal and spatial resolutions. Recently, optical near-field probes, such as laser-irradiated pointed me ...
We present a novel optical technique for simultaneously measuring the absorbance and the refractive index of a thin film using an infrared optofluidic probe. Experiments were carried on two different liquids and the results agree with the bibliographical d ...
A micro particle shadow velocimetry (mu PSV) system based on back-lit illumination and forward scatter observation of light from non-fluorescent particles has been developed. Relatively high luminous efficiencies and particle image contrasts were achieved ...
Wafer bonding using parylene-C to Si, SiO2 and SiN surfaces has recently been shown to enable high pressure-resistant microfluidic devices with metallization and CMOS-integration capability. Here, we report characterization of intermediate parylene-C bondi ...
Since stem cells have the unique ability to produce more of themselves (i.e. to "self-renew") and to generate specialized tissue cells, they are an ideal source of cells for regenerative medicine and in vitro tissue models. In order to fully exploit this p ...
We propose a concept for enhancing the fluorescent detection signal of on-chip immunoassays by using three-dimensional 3 and 8 mu m size microtextured structures as substrates for the assay, which allows exploitation of a large number of fluorophores withi ...
A technique that allows direct optical imaging of nanostructures and determines quantitatively geometric nanofeatures beyond the classical diffraction limit by using high-refractive index glass microspheres is introduced. The glass microsphere is put on th ...
Optical microscopy has become a major non- or minimally invasive tool for investigating living organisms such as cells, tissues or small animals. Being such an essential tool for research and because lacking knowledge and insight in the working principles ...
A biological and chemical sample processing device that b. comprises a high pressure-resistant, shallow and wide area microfluidic chamber having at least one wall formed by a detachable slide containing samples such as immobilized entities, biological sam ...
We report on the advanced optical characterizations of microfabricated solid immersion lenses with 2-mu m diameter, operating at lambda = 642 nm. The main feature, the spot size reduction, has been investigated by applying a focused Gaussian beam of NA = 0 ...
