She Blinded Me With Science. Friday, July 26, 2013. RET 2013: The IRIS. But for now I want to talk about how the IRIS works. In the pic below it is the green line going through two 'lenses.' See Jyothsna's hands in the photo (she has on blue gloves)? She is moving the stage around to place a chip in the correct spot under the objective. Find the objective in the photo below. The box labeled CCD is a camera. It is the white roundish box in the photo above. We can count these viral particles to see how man...

A Biophotonics Research Experience: July 2012
http://mcmillan-ret.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Biophotonics Research Experience. Friday, July 27, 2012. Top Ten Experiences in the Photonics Center This Week. 10) Our green laser got so faint that our system didn't have enough light to work anymore. Who knows why.those things are supposed to last forever! 9) So we installed a new laser (it's red) after our first one died, then. 7) Went back to the clean room to finish the photolithography process by depositing titanium and gold then wash away the photoresist. The wafers after deposition but. 3) The...

A Biophotonics Research Experience: August 2012
http://mcmillan-ret.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Biophotonics Research Experience. Friday, August 10, 2012. Here we are, the last day. This week we worked on polishing the system to leave a complete demonstration. We also got some data to prove that our system does indeed correct for more than 90% of the aberrations. Then we got to strut our stuff in presentations. One of the greatest take-aways from this experience, even more than the awesome science content and lab experience, was the joy of working with a group of incredibly passionate science tea...

A Biophotonics Research Experience. Thursday, July 18, 2013. RET II: Revenge of the Photons! I'm back at Boston University this summer for another six weeks of scientific bliss! Loving the university, the co-workers, and, of course, the delicious food choices! It's not all Jamba Juice and Starbucks though, let me tell you! This summer Mrs. Chase and I are using a deformable mirror (more on that below) to help us control how light travels through fiber optic cables. Here's the rundown:. So what we are int...

She Blinded Me With Science. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. RET 2013: My fellow RETers and labmates. Here's an introduction to the teachers in this year's RET program. There are five of us this year and we are all returning champions! If you click on the links to our old blogs you will get a good sense of what this RET program has looked like over the last three years. The 2012 Cohort of RET teachers. The three of us from last year's RET program:. Can you see my head poking out next to Maureen? As they were t...
