Journal Article
Mitchell, T., Saunter, C., O'Nions, W., Girkin, J., & Love, G. (2014). Quantitative High Dynamic Range Beam Proling for Fluorescence Microscopy. Review of Scientific Instruments, 85(10), Article 103713. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4899208

Modern developmental biology relies on optically-sectioning uorescence microscope techniques to produce non-destructive in-vivo images of developing specimens at high resolution in three dimensions. As optimal performance of these techniques is relia... Read More about Quantitative High Dynamic Range Beam Proling for Fluorescence Microscopy.

Enamel erosion and prevention efficacy characterized by confocal laser scanning microscope (2014)
Journal Article
Maia, A., Longbottom, C., Gomes, A., & Girkin, J. (2014). Enamel erosion and prevention efficacy characterized by confocal laser scanning microscope. Microscopy Research and Technique, 77(6), 439-445. https://doi.org/10.1002/jemt.22364

The aim of this study was to evaluate the erosion-inhibiting effect of two toothpastes on the development of erosion-like lesions, by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Forty human enamel blocks were divided into five groups (n = 8), in acc... Read More about Enamel erosion and prevention efficacy characterized by confocal laser scanning microscope.

Combining optical trapping in a microfluidic channel with simultaneous micro-Raman spectroscopy and motion detection (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawton, P., Saunter, C., & Girkin, J. (2014, March). Combining optical trapping in a microfluidic channel with simultaneous micro-Raman spectroscopy and motion detection. Presented at Microfluidics, BioMEMS, and Medical Microsystems XII, San Francisco, California, United States

Since their invention by Ashkin optical tweezers have demonstrated their ability and versatility as a non-invasive tool for micromanipulation. One of the most useful additions to the basic optical tweezers system is micro-Raman spectroscopy, which pe...

Investigating the micro-rheology of the vitreous humor using an optically trapped local probe (2014)
Journal Article
Watts, F., Tan, L. E., Wilson, C. G., Girkin, J. M., Tassieri, M., & Wright, A. J. (2014). Investigating the micro-rheology of the vitreous humor using an optically trapped local probe. Journal of Optics, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/2040-8978/16/1/015301

We demonstrate that an optically trapped silica bead can be used as a local probe to measure the micro-rheology of the vitreous humor. The Brownian motion of the bead was observed using a fast camera and the micro-rheology determined by analysis of t...
