Miniaturized diaphragm-based fiber-tip acoustic sensors for the identification of stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Historically, acoustic sensors have been used in a variety of applications spanning land, water, and air. This dissertation expands their potential application space into the human body, both figuratively and literally. A diaphragm-based, fiber-tip hydrophone is presented, with the required sensitivity at low frequencies to detect the action potential of a single cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cell).
