Seeing Cells Through Silicon
A new type of near-infrared microscopy can image cells through a silicon wafer, providing more information about diseased or infected cells flowing through microfluidic devices. “This has the potential to merge research in cellular visualization with all the exciting things you can do on a silicon wafer,” said Ishan Barman, a former postdoc in MIT’s Laser Biomedical Research Center (LBRC) and a lead author of a paper on the technology.

Clearly Superior Epoxies for Optical Applications
Master Bond Inc.
As technology in the optics industry continues to advance and improve, careful consideration of the properties of epoxies must be evaluated. When determining the most effective adhesive to be used in opto-electronics, medical and other optic related industry applications, trade-offs of key characteristics should be assessed. Here is a guide to the different properties to consider, their benefits and potential disadvantages and advice on how to prioritize these factors for the success of the application.
