Optical probing of local membrane potential with fluorescent polystyrene beads. [PDF]
AbstractStudying the electrical activity in single cells and in local circuits of excitable cells, like neurons, requires an easy to use and high throughput methodology that enables the measurement of membrane potential. Studying the electrical properties in particular sub-compartments of neurons, or in a specific type of neurons produces additional ...

Viscoelastic characteristics of pentane-swollen polystyrene beads [PDF]
Expansion of pentane-swollen polystyrene beads was followed at and above the glass transition by using a very simple optical technique. Measurements allowed a suitable determination of the glass transition temperature and of the viscoelastic characteristics of the pentane-plasticized polystyrene chains inside the beads, at different pentane contents ...

Study of Faraday waves in tanks in presence of polystyrene bead layers
When a tank is subjected to vertical forced excitation, Faraday waves appear at the surface of the liquid the tank contains. In this paper, we consider the effect of layers of polystyrene beads placed on the surface of isopropanol undergoing a low ...

Honeycomb-like Ag Nanocavity Array for SERS Observations Using Plasmon-Mediated Chemical Reactions
Organized two-dimensional polystyrene bead arrays perform ion etching, and protruding nanostructures are created on polystyrene beads due to the shadow effects from the ring beads, leading to nucleus selection and growth in Au nanostructure deposition ...
