[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a cheap ...

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, ...

A new method for quickly and accurately detecting nanoparticles and viruses marks a major advancement in virus detection technology, merging confocal fluorescence microscopy with microfluidic laminar ...

A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi's Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) have developed new kind of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probes in true three-dimensional shapes ...

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 ...

A study introduces a novel method for calibrating the spring constant of FluidFM micropipette cantilevers, crucial for the accurate measurement of forces in microfluidic environments. This method ...

(Nanowerk News) A study introduces a novel method for calibrating the spring constant of FluidFM micropipette cantilevers, crucial for the accurate measurement of forces in microfluidic environments.

For the first time, a team visualizes sensory nerves projecting into adipose tissue in mice and finds these neuronal cells may counteract the local effects of the sympathetic nervous system. Mass ...

A team of researchers led by Anna-Karin Gustavsson at Rice University has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale.

Tiny gas bubbles could help reduce drag in small medical devices, scientists have found. Drag can lead to clogging and damage biological samples, so this discovery could pave the way to more robust ...
