Reconfigurable and responsive droplet-based compound micro-lenses
Micro-scale optical components play a crucial role in imaging and display technology, biosensing, beam shaping, optical switching, wavefront-analysis, and device miniaturization. Herein, we demonstrate liquid compound micro-lenses with dynamically tunable focal lengths. We employ bi-phase emulsion droplets fabricated from immiscible hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon liquids to form responsive micro-...
متن کاملDroplet-based micro oscillating-flow PCR chip
Polymerase chain reactions (PCR), thermally activated chemical reactions which are widely used for nucleic acid amplification, have recently received much attention in microelectromechanical systems and micro total analysis systems because a wide variety of DNA/RNA molecules can be enriched by PCR for further analyses. In the present work, a droplet-based micro oscillating-flow PCR chip was des...
متن کاملDroplet Interfaced Parallel and Quantitative Micro fl uidic - Based
8 ABSTRACT: High-throughput, quantitative, and rapid microfluidic9 based separations has been a long-sought goal for applications in 10 proteomics, genomics, biomarker discovery, and clinical diagnostics. 11 Using droplet-interfaced microchip electrophoresis (MCE) techni12 ques, we have developed a novel parallel MCE platform, based on 13 the concept of combining the Slipchip principle with a n...
متن کاملFaraday Waves-Based Integrated Ultrasonic Micro-Droplet Generator and Applications
An in-depth review on a new ultrasonic micro-droplet generator which utilizes megahertz (MHz) Faraday waves excited by silicon-based multiple Fourier horn ultrasonic nozzles (MFHUNs) and its potential applications is presented. The new droplet generator has demonstrated capability for producing micro droplets of controllable size and size distribution and desirable throughput at very low electr...
متن کاملSub-wavelength Laser Nanopatterning using Droplet Lenses
When a drop of liquid falls onto a screen, e.g. a cell phone, the pixels lying underneath appear magnified. This lensing effect is a combination of the curvature and refractive index of the liquid droplet. Here, the spontaneous formation of such lenses is exploited to overcome the diffraction limit of a conventional laser direct-writing system. In particular, micro-droplets are first laser-prin...
