Multi-functional fluorescence microscopy laboratory

我们提出了一个多用途荧光显微镜设备，与RMIT微加工设备相结合，主要用于研究构成芯片实验室系统的过程（将充满设备的实验室小型化，以适应信用卡大小的芯片）。具体来说，该设备的核心是与倒置显微镜耦合的可变波长脉冲激光器，它将允许研究微通道中的温度和流体流动，开发新的电光元件，直接可视化电磁辐射及其对细胞的影响，以及将电光刺激和传感装置耦合到微流体通道中。

We have proposed a multipurpose fluorescent microscopy facility coupled to the RMIT microfabrication facility primarily for the study of the processes that make up lab-on-a-chip systems (the miniaturisation of a laboratory full of equipment to fit onto a credit card sized chip). Specifically the heart of the equipment, the variable wavelength pulsed laser coupled to an inverted microscope, will allow the study of temperature and fluid flow in microchannels, the development of new electro-optic components, direct visualisation of electromagnetic radiation and its effect on cells, and the coupling of electrical and optical stimulation and sensing devices to microfluidic channels.
