Fig. 1From: Use of an oxygen planar optode to assess the effect of high velocity microsprays on oxygen penetration in a human dental biofilms in-vitroOptode imaging system. The imaging system consisted of a camera fitted with a 25 mm objective and mounted on a movable stage to adjust focus on to the opening at the top. The biofilm growth chambers were placed on the circular opening at the top and covered to eliminate ambient light during imaging. Strobe lights (455 nm LEDs) for fluorescence excitation were installed beside the imager. The left panel shows the system enclosed in a case to eliminate ambient light and the right panel shows the configuration of the system components and the sampleBack to article page
