The imaging approach - Real-time microfluidic droplets characterisation

Microfluidics can generate droplets to apply to a broad range of laboratory applications. However, the current imaging techniques used for droplet characterization are time-consuming and need large data storage. This project developed a new opto-microfluidic system for reliable and reproducible droplet labelling using optical waveguides in a Mach Zehnder’s configuration.

A video camera and microscope were coupled to the system. The video simultaneously recorded droplet dynamics in the channel while the microscope allowed real time visualisation of the droplets.
