Experimental studies on microscopic, multiphase transport phenomena: Novel applications of light sheet fluorescence microscopy

Abstract Over the past two decades, light sheet fluorescence microscopy has developed to a powerful tool for studies of dynamics in biological systems. In a new development, we apply light sheet fluorescence microscopy as a novel experimental measurement technology within the field of multiphase process engineering and fluid dynamics. The technology enables a number of novel studies of single- and multiphase transport phenomena on a microscopic scale. In the current publication, we introduce the
