Here, using thin-film ... reflection interference contrast microscopy. Figure 2: Equilibrium lubrication states L1–3 of an oil film sandwiched between a droplet and a flat solid surface.

It had this interference pattern on it – here is a vine version. This is called a thin film interference pattern ... that light reflecting off the top surface and the the light going through ...

Researchers at Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a thin film device ... as well as to change the surface chemistry of MXenes. With a small voltage applied to the film, ions ...

Sweeney says that the polarized light is generated by reflection from a smooth dielectric surface on the wings. "Not all iridescent colors are polarized and this possibly has to do with the number of ...
