Microfluidics for dynamics
Microfluidic techniques have developed rapidly, and are increasingly finding wide ranging application in both biology and chemistry. Coupled to the ever decreasing beam sizes and increasing flux levels of modern third generation synchrotron sources, they are extending the capacity of synchrotron radiation for studies which exploit concentration variation, flow characteristics of next generation materials and fast dynamics
