Abstract
For the investigation and control of microfluidic systems innovative microscopy techniques are needed which can comply the requirements regarding to sensitivity and spatial as well as temporal resolution. A promising approach for this challenge is nonlinear dynamic phase contrast microscopy. It is an alternative full field approach that allows to detect motion as well as phase changes of unstained micro-objects in real-time without contact and non destructive, i.e. fully biocompatible. In this contribution we will present the dynamic phase contrast technique and its applications in micro flow velocimetry and micro-mixing analysis.
