Finally, experimental equipment needed for LIBS is both simple and versatile, favoring the development of compact portable instrumentation, which can be employed in field analysis including campaigns at museums or historical and archaeological sites [18 20].
Furthermore, DOT can be realized in compact, portable instrumentation that allows for bedside monitoring at relatively low cost.
We demonstrate that fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) applied to intrinsic tissue autofluorescence can directly contrast a range of surface tissue tumors, including in gastrointestinal tissues, using compact, clinically deployable instrumentation achieving wide-field fluorescence lifetime images of unprecedented clarity.
The successful coupling of a microfluidic flow cell with a BiFE, thereby forming a "mercury-free" AdSV flow analysis sensor, shows promise for industrial and in-the-field applications where inexpensive, compact, and robust instrumentation capable of low-volume analysis is required.
Optical microscopy techniques are particularly attractive due to their ability to provide information with high-spatial resolution while using compact and cost-effective instrumentation.
For bioluminescent bioreporters, one area of effort lies in the development of semiconductor chip-based detector modules; this holds great promise for ultra-compact and field-deployable instrumentation, but has not yet had a palpable impact on improved detection limits.
During my undergraduate course I studied many interesting and relevant subjects: relativity, cosmology, compact objects, and (of course) instrumentation.
Furthermore, our approach suits both modular field devices such as distributed I/O's and compact devices such as field instrumentation.
In the recent years, new components, such as turbine, coolant pump, advanced compact heat exchangers, valves, sensors, instrumentation and control systems, are being designed to use in the coolant systems.
