Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Nanophotonics enhanced coverslip for phase imaging in biology
Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Nanophotonics enhanced coverslip for phase imaging in biology a The nanophotonics enhanced coverslip (NEC) adds phase imaging capability to a normal microscope coverslip, thereby shrinking bulky phase-imaging methods down to the size of a chip. The less than 200 nm thick design consists of a subwavelength spaced grating on top of an optically thin film, supported by a glass substrate. b Exemplary demonstration of phase-imaging of human cancer cells (HeLa cells) using the NEC. By placing the Petri dish containing the cell culture directly on top of the NEC, ps...
