Fluorescence, in microscopy and imaging
This is a swift report on fluorescence and its application as a tool in imaging and microscopy; to properly comprehend this subject, with the aid of the Jablonski diagram, brief descriptions and discussions are given on fluorescence; rhodamine 6G homo-FRET reaction is considered from which both the absorption and emission spectra are drawn on a graph. Additionally, the wealth of applications of fluorescence imaging techniques such as Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and Fluorescence Polarisation and Anisotropy techniques are considered. Applications of molecular imaging techniques in cell biology and medical science are mentioned.
Estimating the Speed of rotation of a rotating X-Ray window
A rotating membrane is assumed to be a rotating disc and appropriate speed of rotation is a key consideration if the material in question must survive the heat flux imparted on it by impinging beam of electrons. 1μm hot spots are assumed to be distributed on the target material such that a circular pattern is formed according to figure 1 .
X-Ray window simulation; the use of COMSOL 3.4 Multiphysics software
Ways are sought after, to prevent overlying target material on membrane from breaking or melting, by simulating structures (using COMSOL 3.4 Multiphysics software) of various materials. Results of these simulations and graphs (using Origin 7.5 software) are presented. The implications conferred by these graphs on the report are discussed. Power densities, of impinging electrons, thermal conductivities and thickness of membrane are considered as key parameters for optimal performance.
