98. NANO-FTIR SPECTROSCOPY OF SINGLE CELL SECTIONS

We demonstrate high-sensitivity near-field infrared (IR) spectroscopy (nano-FTIR) for the label-free investigation of single cell cuts. We show that IR absorption of individual sub-cellular regions can be spectroscopically measured and small but consistent spectral differences can be resolved. This capability has the potential to pinpoint chemical changes at the cellular ultrastructural level...

57. New polymeric materials based on cationic photopolymerisation processes for 3D printing technology (3D-VAT) based on digital light processing

3D-VAT printing is an excellent alternative to the traditional preparation of 3D objects from polymeric materials, reducing costs and increasing the resolution of objects. The use of cationic 3D-VAT printing unfortunately hits a number of limitations. One of these is the lack of suitable photoinitiators that absorb in the emission range of the light sources used in printers (around 405 nm).[1]...
