Presegmentation Procedure Generates Smooth-Sided Microfluidic Devices: Unlocking Multiangle Imaging for Everyone?
[Image: see text] We present a simple procedure to create smooth-sided, transparent polymer-based microfluidic devices by presegmentation with hydrophobized glass slides. We study the hypothesis that the smooth side planes permit rapid multiangle imaging of microfluidic systems in contrast to the tu...

| Sumario: | [Image: see text] We present a simple procedure to create smooth-sided, transparent polymer-based microfluidic devices by presegmentation with hydrophobized glass slides. We study the hypothesis that the smooth side planes permit rapid multiangle imaging of microfluidic systems in contrast to the turbid side planes that result from cutting the polymer. We compare the compatibility of the entire approach with the conventional widefield microscopy, confocal and 2-photon microscopy, as well as three-dimensional (3D) rendering and discuss limitations and potential applications. |
