Abstract

Novel optical techniques for sensitive and reproducible fluorescence single cell analysis utilizing setups without single photon counting units are attractive for enhanced low-cost cell parameter screening. In this contribution we present the first microfluidic planar device to form an optofluidic adjustable convex lens with three-dimensional light focusing ability to improve optical sensor systems.
