B-PHOT research published on cover of Sensors

The article 'A Tunable Freeform-Segmented Reflector in a Microfluidic System for Conventional and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy' from B-PHOT researchers Qing Liu, Hugo Thienpont, Heidi Ottevaere and Michael Stenbæk Schmidt, got published on the front cover of Sensors.

In this paper, B-PHOT researchers discuss the design and fabrication of a novel freeform-segmented reflector combined with a polymer-based microfluidic system for conventional Raman and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) analysis. They fabricated the freeform reflector by means of in-house available ultra-precision diamond turning and demonstrated the confocal behaviour by measuring the Raman spectrum of various analytes.
