Research project PX/8/LP/05 (Research action PX)
The objective of the project is to investigate, in parabolic flights, separation devices for biological species that are traveling in a flow. The project involves the separation device with the accompanying fluid management equipment and the optical measuring system based on a digital holographic microscope. The role of the Microgravity Research Centre is the development of the digital holographic microscope and of the related driving and processing software. A first parabolic flight campaign will be hold on November 2004. A flight microscope has been realized and the present project is related to the data analysis and the eventual hardware improvements for a new parabolic flight campaign in 2005.
