Nanoscale Lithography and Thermometry with Thermal Scanning Probes

Samuel Tobias Howell

Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is an advanced lithography technique in which a heated atomic force microscope tip locally modifies a sample material. Due to the nanometer-sized tip apex diameter, t-SPL enables patterning of sub-10 nm structures ...

Optical spectroscopy of the bladder washout fluid to optimize fluorescence cystoscopy with Hexvix

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Blaise Lovisa, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy enhances detection of early bladder cancer. Water used to inflate the bladder during the procedure rapidly contains urine, which may contain fluorochromes. This frequently degrades fluorescence images. Samples of bladder washout flu ...

Dark curing kinetics of UV printing inks by real-time ATR-FTIR spectroscopy

Eric Jacques Nouzille

In UV-curable printing technology, an ink or a varnish is exposed to the UV-light source within a fraction of a second. Subsequent polymerization therefore proceeds in the dark, referred to as dark curing. Because dark curing can be critical and contribute ...
