Drop impact of non-Newtonian fluids is a complex process since different physical parameters influence the dynamics over a very short time (less than one tenth of a millisecond). A fast imaging technique is introduced in order to characterize the impact behaviors of different non-Newtonian fluids.

Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) is often used to image tissue microarrays and tiled, contiguous tissue areas, but current software for setting up these experiments is cumbersome. The tile/SED/array interface is an intuitive, interactive graphical tool developed to dramatically simplify and accelerate MIBI run setup.

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a polypeptide...
FAQs
Reliable contrast makes an interface measurable by separating phases in the recorded image. Optical contrast can distinguish adjacent fluids, while illumination can emphasize a boundary that is otherwise difficult to see. Tracers add information through their behavior near or within a phase. These choices determine whether imaging captures interface location, shape, or motion clearly.
Image analysis can convert recorded interface motion into measurements of deformation, breakup, coalescence, and wave formation. These outcomes describe how boundaries change over time rather than merely showing their position in a single image. Quantifying them helps engineers connect observed interfacial behavior with the performance of multiphase flows, droplets, bubbles, and thin films.
High-speed cameras preserve the sequence of rapid interfacial events that ordinary imaging may not resolve clearly. Recording successive shapes allows analysis of motion, deformation, breakup, coalescence, and wave formation as they occur. This time-resolved information is especially relevant when engineers need to relate interface dynamics to the behavior of droplets, bubbles, or other multiphase structures.
A basic workflow begins by selecting optical contrast, illumination, or tracer behavior that makes the relevant boundary visible. Researchers then capture the interface, often with a high-speed camera when motion must be resolved, and apply image analysis to the recorded sequence. The resulting measurements describe shape and dynamics for engineering interpretation.
The approach can be adapted to liquid-liquid, liquid-gas, or liquid-solid boundaries, with the observed behavior depending on the phases involved. In engineering studies, this supports examination of multiphase flows, droplets, bubbles, thin films, and wetting. Identifying the relevant interface type helps focus imaging and analysis on the process being evaluated.
Engineers use interface measurements when interfacial behavior influences transport performance or process efficiency. Applications include microfluidic devices, chemical reactors, heat-transfer systems, coatings, and energy technologies. Observations of deformation, breakup, coalescence, waves, or wetting provide experimental evidence for linking fluid-interface dynamics to how these systems operate and how their designs perform.
