2024 Rising Stars in Measurement Science
Presentation title
Development of High-Sensitivity Cellular Measurement Technology Utilizing Femtosecond Laser Processing and Ultra-Thin Glass
Authors
Yaxiaer Yalikun (Associate Professor), Yoichiro Hosokawa (Professor), and 7 others
Research detail
Using femtosecond laser processing technology with nanometer precision, our group have developed a high-sensitivity transparent cantilever sensor from ultra-thin glass sheets just a few micrometers thick. This sensor achieves sensitivity comparable to Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) while leveraging its transparency to enable real-time observation of the measurement area. This allows for precise physical property measurements of cells and other microscopic samples.
