Poster (Student, Not in Competition) / Affiche (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)

Linearly extending long DNA molecules in sub-50 nm nanochannels for genomic analysis, while retaining their structural integrity, is a major technological challenge. We employ ``Convex Lens-induced Confinement'' (CLiC) microscopy to gently load DNA into nanogrooves from above, overcoming the limitations of side-loading techniques used in direct-bonded nanofluidic devices. In the CLiC...

892. Single-Molecule Microscopy System for Tunable Nanoscale Confinement

Poster (Student, Not in Competition) / Affiche (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)

We present the design and construction of a versatile, open-frame inverted microscope system for wide-field fluorescence and single molecule imaging. The microscope chassis and modular design allow for customization, expansion, and experimental flexibility. We present two components that are included with the microscope which extend its basic capabilities and together create a powerful...
