First tests of fluidic devices designed and fabricated by students at MIT.nano

The first tests of the fluidic device designed and fabricated by 6.152J students on the new fluidic test station that was installed yesterday in the soft litho cleanroom at MIT.nano. In this photo, students are investigating how small microparticles behave when a channel splits at a junction. The bottom channel is flow restricted, pushing the flow into the top channel and creating particle aggregation at the junction, seen on the microscope view on-screen.
