Microfluidics and Bio-Mems

Optofluidics, Plasmonic and Bioimaging devices

Bio-imaging generally indicates imaging techniques that acquire biological information from living forms. Recently, the power to detect, diagnose, and monitor pathological, physiological, and molecular dynamics is in great demand, while cutting down the observing angle, achieving precise alignment, fast actuation, and a miniaturized platform become key elements in next-generation optical imaging systems. Optofluidics, nominally merging optic and microfluidic technologies, may be a relatively new research field, and it's drawn great attention since the last decade. Given its abilities to control both optic and fluidic functions/elements within the micro/nanometer regime, optofluidics shows great potential in bio-imaging to elevate our cognition within the subcellular and/or molecular level.
