I ran a few tests with rhodamine to see if the fluorescence will transfer across the cell. The problem I keep having is that the stir cell set-up is very sensitive. If the wing nuts are tightened too much the membrane will break. But if they are too loose the liquids will leak out. Luckily…
Mike and I tested the movement of Rhodamine between the two cell channels to prove that the Rhodamine particles do diffuse through the membrane. After inspection in the microscope we saw that the fluorescence from the Rhodamine does transfer from one channel to the other across the membrane. However, we also noticed that the Rhodamine…
