Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) 3D CAD model of the second optical device without the fiber, and the top and the bottom rectangular glass slides. (b) Schematic diagram of the exploded cross-sectional view of Section A–A depicted in (a) with the fiber, and the top and the bottom rectangular glass slides. (c) The second 3D printed optical device with embedded Corning® Fibrance™ Light-Diffusing Fiber, and the integrated top and bottom 75 mm × 50 mm and 0.96 mm to 1.06 mm thick rectangular glass slides. (d) The device was lit up using a green laser pointer.
Article Snippet: In the fourth 3D printed fluidic device, two 24 mm × 60 mm no. 1 (0.13 mm to 0.17 mm thick) rectangular glass cover slips (Catalog No. 12-548-5 P, FisherfinestTM Premium Cover Glass, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) were integrated during 3D printing to form the top and the bottom surfaces of a serpentine channel (Figs. ).
