Darkfield Micromanipulation with an Ultropaque Illuminator Recently
نویسنده
چکیده
second. The other ciliates studied obviously have a much lower speed of coordinating impulse. These values are so far below the velocities of true neural impulses that it is not possible to consider a "neuromotor" factor in the coordination of these Protozoa. Further investigations are in progress along the lines indicated here and will be reported in detail. The writer is indebted to Dr. W. M. Barrows for suggesting the use of the stroboscope in the study of the Protozoa. J. C. HAMMOND OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

Expanding Imaging Capabilities for Microfluidics: Applicability of Darkfield Internal Reflection Illumination (DIRI) to Observations in Microfluidics
Microfluidics is used increasingly for engineering and biomedical applications due to recent advances in microfabrication technologies. Visualization of bubbles, tracer particles, and cells in a microfluidic device is important for designing a device and analyzing results. However, with conventional methods, it is difficult to observe the channel geometry and such particles simultaneously. To o...
متن کاملCondenser-free contrast methods for transmitted-light microscopy
Phase contrast microscopy allows the study of highly transparent yet detail-rich specimens by producing intensity contrast from phase objects within the sample. Presented here is a generalized phase contrast illumination schema in which condenser optics are entirely abrogated, yielding a condenser-free yet highly effective method of obtaining phase contrast in transmitted-light microscopy. A ri...
متن کاملA Simple low-cost device enables four epi-illumination techniques on standard light microscopes
Back-scattering darkfield (BSDF), epi-fluorescence (EF), interference reflection contrast (IRC), and darkfield surface reflection (DFSR) are advanced but expensive light microscopy techniques with limited availability. Here we show a simple optical design that combines these four techniques in a simple low-cost miniature epi-illuminator, which inserts into the differential interference-contrast...
متن کاملLarge Volume, Behaviorally-relevant Illumination for Optogenetics in Non-human Primates.
This protocol describes a large-volume illuminator, which was developed for optogenetic manipulations in the non-human primate brain. The illuminator is a modified plastic optical fiber with etched tip, such that the light emitting surface area is > 100x that of a conventional fiber. In addition to describing the construction of the large-volume illuminator, this protocol details the quality-co...
متن کاملMobile Microrobotics Principles and Manufacturing Technologies
A new emerging field has recently appeared in the microand nano-technologies: the untethered, submillimeter, microor nano-sized robots, which present potential applications in biomedical diagnosis, targeted drug delivery or micro-electro-mechanical parts microassembly. Microrobotics is the field of miniature robotics and is that branch of robotics, which deals with the study and application of ...
