In Situ Measurement of Vacuum Window Birefringence using 25Mg+ Fluorescence

Presented here is a method to measure the birefringence of vacuum windows by maximizing the fluorescence counts emitted by Doppler cooled 25Mg+ ions in an ion trap. The birefringence of vacuum windows will change the polarization states of the laser, which can be compensated by changing the azimuthal angles of external wave...

Analysis of Skeletal Muscle Defects in Larval Zebrafish by Birefringence and Touch-evoke Escape Response Assays

The zebrafish is now an established and powerful tool for modeling muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, and related neuromuscular diseases. Birefringence and touch-evoked escape behavior are two common noninvasive assays used to determine the degree of muscular disorganization and locomotive impairment of zebrafish embryos during early...

Soft Lithography07:53

Soft Lithography

Many BioMEM devices, such as microfluidic channels, are fabricated using the soft lithography technique. Here, a microscale pattern is replicated by curing an elastomeric polymer over the 3D structure. These polymeric structures are then used to create a wide range of devices, ranging from microfluidic channels for biosensing applications to microscale bioreactors for the visualization of micro-colonies.
This video introduces photolithography and demonstrates the technique in the...

Residue-Free Fabrication of van der Waals Heterostructures of Two-Dimensional Materials

This study presents a residue-free fabrication methodology for producing single flakes of two-dimensional materials and assembling them into complex heterostructures using only van der Waals interactions. The technique eliminates the need for external substances and specific experimental conditions, enabling complex heterostructure assemblies through bottom-up, top-down, and modular stacking...
