TL;DR: This work investigates the three-dimensional positioning of focal spots of RBCs over time for samples with two different osmolarity conditions and demonstrates that a temporal variation of an RBC’s focal points along the optical axis is correlated to the temporal fluctuations in the RBC's thickness maps.

TL;DR: An electro-optic device applied as an optical beam deflector and switch at different wavelengths has been built and tested and its operation has been visualized by an imaging camera for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, a light-absorbing polymer nanocomposite thin layer was applied on the ferroelectric substrate to trigger pyro-electrohydrodynamic (EHD) manipulation of liquids.

TL;DR: In this article, the application of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) is employed for inspecting composite materials subject to thermal load, and the evaluation of the effective delaminated area of damaged polymer/Carbon Nanotubes fiber reinforced composites after flexural tests is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, an inspection optical technique based on ESPI can be adopted successfully for assessing fully integrity of stainless steel keg, in particular two kegs, the first pre-finished and the second with a known leak, are compared in order to test the possibility to employ ESPI as a non-destructive testing tool to quickly revealing the presence and to partially locate a leak in automatic way.
