Flow cell with environmental control for in-liquid nano-FTIR
EMSL Project ID
60006
Abstract
Total internal reflection scattering-scanning near-field optical microscopy (TIR s-SNOM) has achieved chemical nano-imaging in liquid, however of only static systems. In this project, a flow cell will be integrated to allow control of the liquid environment and extend the temporal analysis window in order to resolve chemical and structural dynamics in biological and microbial systems over timescales from seconds to days. In concert, this will give users access to chemical mapping at the liquid-solid interface of BER-relevant processes and systems. This includes resolving communication pathways for microbial systems, enzymatic degradation of lignocellulose, adsorption/desorption processes, and in-situ protein conformational and biomineralization studies.
