Abstract: A microfluidic apparatus for forming one or more droplets of an aqueous fluid suspended in a non-aqueous fluid is described. The microfluidic apparatus includes a first microfluidic channel configured for flowing an aqueous fluid through the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel fluidically connected to the first microfluidic channel and adapted to flow a non-aqueous fluid through the second microfluidic channel into the first microfluidic channel. A microfluidic reservoir fluidically connected to the first microfluidic channel and configured to receive a plurality of droplets of the first aqueous fluid. The microfluidic apparatus further includes a first electrode and a second electrode positioned such that application of voltage to the first electrode moves one or more droplets of the aqueous fluid in a first direction and application of voltage to the second electrode moves one or more droplets of the aqueous fluid in a second direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to microscopy systems. In particular, the present invention relates to microscopes rendering digital images of samples, with the capability to digitally control the focus of the microscope system, and the software used to control the operation of the digital microscope system. Further, the present invention relates to a microscope structure that allows for compact and multi-functional use of a microscope, providing for light shielding and control with samples that require specific light wavelength characteristics, such as fluorescence, for detection and imaging. The microscope is adjustable, with a structure that can move along range(s) of motion and degree(s) of freedom to allow for ease of access to samples, shielding of samples, and manipulation of a display apparatus.
