3D fluidic lens shaping—A multiconvex hydrodynamically adjustable optofluidic microlens

Abstract

Novel optical techniques for sensitive and reproducible fluorescence single cell analysis utilizing setups without single photon counting units are attractive for enhanced low-cost cell parameter screening. In this contribution we present the first microfluidic planar device to form an optofluidic adjustable convex lens with three-dimensional light focusing ability to improve optical sensor systems.
