In a previous post I had shown the relative fluorescence of various substrates as normalized to glass.  1um beads (either green or red) were placed onto each surface and imaged with constant EM Gain, exposure time, and intensity.  Bar graphs were constructed to show the relative fluorescence (red and green were not normalized to each other)….

A couple weeks ago, I presented a potential figure for my paper that didn’t make sense.  So, I did a couple more controls and put together this new figure.  This is the “diffusion through ‘non-porous’ SC348/cut-off of nonporous membranes” figure.  I redid it to include SC348 (the nonporous sample) and ‘typical’ pnc-Si as % of…

Since I discovered a dilution of polyurethane acrylate (PUA) which coats well (described here), I have restarted my efforts towards etching the PUA. Described below are my most recent attempts towards creating a PUA coating with a smooth surface with a 1 um in thickness. Unfortunately, it has proven harder to maintain a smooth surface…

So Alec, Tejas and I will have a poster at the Immune Imaging Symposium in the Med Center on Nov. 4th and we created an image for our abstract that Jim requested I post here in higher quality. Immune Imaging Abstract Image_01 The image is so high quality that it was having trouble loading into…

Purpose: We want to know the effects of the RTP process on pore size, pore density for the biased films coming out of the AJA. I believe that the RTP ramp rate is important for forming bigger pores. Some work (Joe Qi Thesis) has indicated that the pores come out more circular as the wafer is…

I recently presented an update at the HCIC User meeting on 11/10/23 detailing our efforts in exploring the use of optical tweezers to perform microrheology in type I/type III collagen hydrogels. These hydrogels are of interest for in vitro models such as the hToC and we would like to explore the viscoelastic changes caused by…
