Total internal reflection fluorescence.
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is an optical effect particularly well-suited to the study of molecular and cellular phenomena at liquid/solid interfaces. Such interfaces are central to a wide range of biochemical and biophysical processes: binding to and triggering of cells by hormones, neurotransmitters, and antigens; blood coagulation at foreign surfaces; electron transport in ...
متن کاملIntegrated liquid crystal optical switch based on total internal reflection
An optical switch structure which combines a planar lightwave circuit and liquid crystal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The switching is realized by inducing total internal reflection through controlling the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The principle and the design of the integrated optical switch are described. Experimental results suggest that anchoring of the liquid ...
متن کاملAn angular displacement interferometer based on total internal reflection
This paper describes a new angular displacement interferometer based on the internal-reflection effect. In order to make use of the internal-reflection effect, a novel prism assembly is designed, which yields a very compact optical configuration. As a result, the linearity of the angular displacement interferometer is greatly improved. Both the linearization of the measurement equation and the ...
متن کاملPolarized backlight based on selective total internal reflection at microgrooves.
A polarized backlight for LCD illumination is designed and fabricated in which s-polarized light is extracted owing to selective total internal reflection at microstructures in the anisotropic layer. From the measurement, the contrast ratio in normal viewing direction can be as high as 64. Luminous uniformity of higher than 80% is achieved for polarized backlights. Furthermore, 1.6 gain in effi...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection: an essay on paradigms.
INTRODUCTION This paper presents a personal view of the relationship between science and the humanities within medical education, arguing for a more even balance between the two. This view stems from the author's recent experience of exploring the literature of learning theory and the social sciences. BACKGROUND For historical reasons, medical education is dominated by a positivistic paradigm...
