Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

5.2K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

  • Microfluidics

Background:

  • Deep pores trap fluids, hindering stain removal in applications like petroleum engineering and skin cleaning.
  • Traditional cleaning methods struggle with effective displacement in complex pore structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of microbubbles for cleaning deep pores.
  • To elucidate the mechanism of microbubble-enhanced oil displacement in simulated pore structures.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of microfluidic chips to mimic deep pores of varying sizes.
  • Microscopic observation of microbubble interactions within the pores.

Main Results:

  • Microbubbles successfully penetrated deep pores, altering stagnant fluid conditions.
  • Microbubbles demonstrated significant oil-carrying capacity, facilitating efficient removal of pore contents.
  • Demonstrated microbubble entry into deep pores and alteration of liquid stagnation.

Conclusions:

  • Microbubbles offer a safe and effective cleaning method for deep pores.
  • The findings provide a theoretical foundation for applying microbubbles in diverse surface cleaning scenarios.
