Experimental activities

Laboratory activities will be presented to all students. Those activities will be in direct relationship with the topics covered by the courses with a sense of  general knowledge in Optical Tweezers and Biophotonics.

Additionally, a reduced number of students will actively participate in a single and specific experiment guided by the responsible professor. The selection proccess will be realized according to particular interest, poster evaluation and/or specific request.

Experimental Proposed Themes:

- Correlation of photonic substructures at the microscale.

Outline: “Orbital angular momentum and  polarization states transferred from a laser beam to microscopic birefringent particles”

Responsible professor: Dr. Halina Rubinsztein and Dr. Carlos Saavedra.

-  Spurious drift method.

Outline: “Influence of Noise on Force Measurements”

Reponsible professors: Dr. Giovanni Volpe,  Dr. J. P. Staforelli and Lic. Pablo Solano.

- Defocusing Microscopy.

Outline: “Cellular membrane analysis by contrast defocusing  and correlation techniques”

Responsible Profesor: Dr. Oscar Mesquita and Lic. Sebastián Etcheverry.
