The sample was focused, and the SERS spectra were collected by a ×60 near infrared (NIR) microscope objective lens (1.0 NA, 2.8-mm working distance).
The outgoing radiation from the sample was focused on the entrance slit of a 50-cm Acton monochromator (Princeton Instruments, Trenton, NJ, USA).
As a result, the study sample was focused on a long stay population of home care clients.
For example, most of the coordinating and advisory bodies represented in the sample are focused on health system performance measurement and reporting.
Fluorescence emission from the sample was focused onto a Pin20A photodiode (OSI Optoelectronics), amplified by an EPC10 (HEKA) patch amplifier, analog filtered at 200 Hz, sampled at 1 KHz, and recorded simultaneously with whole oocyte currents.
The sample was focused with a maximum power of 200 mW, maximum current of 50 μA and typical voltages ranging from 500 to 4500 V until 50 kVh was reached in ~24 h.
However, the nondetection of new cases far from infection foci may be because the majority of sampling is focused in the general vicinity of CWD positive cases.
One of the few available studies on African riverine fish with extensive taxonomic and geographic sampling is focused on the genus Synodontis [ 27].
However, it is important to stress that the present study, which utilizes a case-control approach and no paired samples, is focused on the research of miRNAs which are modified by LVAD presence.
19 The most frequently used fabrication technique for such samples is focused ion beam (FIB) milling. 1 There are alternative fabrication techniques such as etching, 20 directional solidification, 21 imprinting, 22 or electroplating.
On both instruments the samples were focused using 20× and 50× objectives.
