Thin-film transducers for the detection and imaging of Brillouin oscillations in transmission on cultured cells (2015)
Journal Article

Mechanical imaging and characterisation of biological cells has been a subject of interest for the last twenty years. Ultrasonic imaging based on the scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) and mechanical probing have been extensively reported. Large acou...

Thin-film optoacoustic transducers for the subcellular Brillouin oscillation imaging of individual biological cells (2015)
Journal Article

Mechanical characterisation and imaging of biological tissue has piqued interest in the applicability to cell and tissue biology. One method, based on detection of Brillouin oscillations, has already lead to demonstrations on biological cells using u...

Optically excited nanoscale ultrasonic transducers (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Acoustical Society of America. In order to work at higher ultrasonic frequencies, for instance, to increase the resolution, it is necessary to fabricate smaller and higher frequency transducers. This paper presents an ultrasonic transducer cap... Read More about Optically excited nanoscale ultrasonic transducers.
