Miniaturized High Speed Visualization Setup for the Diagnostics of Dynamical Processes in Microsystems

Brugger H., Maier C., Hofer E.P., University of Ulm, DE

For the real time visualization of the dynamics of MEMS it is often inevitable to use high speed camera systems because of the optical enlargement. The micro diagnostic system MinVis, which consists of a miniaturized [...]

Microflows with Moving Boundaries: Experiment and Simulation

Maier C., Hofer E.P., University of Ulm, DE

Surface forces and capillary effects can play a dominant role in fluidic microsystems. Therefore it is crucial for simulations to use accurate numerical approaches [1]. Furthermore experimental data gained from such surface dominated systems can [...]

Impact of Microdrops on Solid Surfaces for DNA-Synthesis

Maier C., aus der Wiesche S., Hofer E.P., University of Ulm, DE

The miniaturization of chemical synthesis procedures and their integration in complex microfluidic systems is highly interesting both commercially and scientifically. Here, dosing of microdrops for activation or passivation with high accuracy on a substrate or [...]

Dynamics in Microfluidic Systems with Microheaters

aus der Wiesche S., Rembe C., Maier C., Hofer E.P., University of Ulm, DE

The physics of nucleation, boiling, bubble growth and collapse in thermal microactuators will be presented. The boiling process exhibits an equivalence to a phase transition of second order and this leads, in contrast to classical [...]
