Fig. 1: Simplified overview of the optical setup. The rays of the fluorescence particle are refracted by the fluctuating water-air interface. Because this aberrating layer can be considered planar, ...

The Figueroa-Morales Lab studies soft matter physics at the interface of microorganisms and the environment (such as bacteria moving through human mucus) using tools like microfluidics and ...

Modern biology is driven by technology, explains Philip J. Lee, Ph.D., co-founder, president, and director of research at CellASIC a five-year-old company that develops microfluidic technologies for ...

Infertility affects approximately 8% to 12% of couples of reproductive age worldwide, and IVF (in vitro fertilization) is often the go-to treatment option. Typically, to increase the odds of a ...

Microfluidics refers to the flow of a few microliters of fluids in micrometre-sized channels. For such flows, properties such as surface tension and fluidic resistance dominate how the system behaves.

The AmScope SM-4TZ is a trinocular microscope, allowing for both eyepiece viewing by the user as well as imaging with a mounted camera. Using this feature, we can utilize this microscope to capture ...

Cancer, a leading cause of death globally, releases TDEs, tiny vesicles containing crucial bioactive components. These exosomes play key roles in cell communication and cancer progression. Current ...

Droplet creation is a crucial but challenging subject in microfluidics. Depending on the application, the objective is to produce droplets of a particular size. Two immiscible phases are used in ...
