Colloidal dispersions composed of polymethylmetacrylate particles dispersed in a mixture of cyclohexyl bromide and decalin find widespread use as model systems in optical microscopy experiments. While the system allows simultaneous density and refractive index matching, preparing particles with hard potentials remains challenging, and strong variations in the physical parameters of samples prepared in the same manner are commonly observed. Here, we present data on the measurement of forces between individual pairs of particles in highly diluted dispersions over the course of tens of days using the blinking optical tweezers method.

We show the implementation of superconducting magnetic Wollaston prisms for spin echo small-angle neutron scattering. Two calibration methods for the spin echo length are presented: one utilizing spin echo modulated small-angle neutron scattering and the other based on the neutron refraction by quartz wedge crystals. Our experimental results with polystyrene nano-particle colloids showcase the system's efficacy in measuring both dilute and concentrated colloidal systems.

By placing the sample away from the focus, nonlinearities can be suppressed, and sizeable amounts of transmitted radiation detected. Here, this approach is demonstrated for a 0.

The type and nature of refractive surgery procedures has greatly increased over the past few decades, allowing for almost all patient populations to be treated to extremely high satisfaction. Conventional photorefractive keratectomy involves the removal of the corneal epithelium through mechanical debridement or dilute alcohol instillation. An improvement to this method utilises laser epithelial removal in a single-step process termed transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK).
