The most important factor of thrombosis in the blood pump is the quality of blood contacting surface which is related to hemocompatibility of materials and micromorphololgy or roughness of the surface. So it is necessary to understand the morphology of the surface inside of blood pump in order to develop and improve a good quality blood pump. The authors observed and analysed the inner surface of blood pumps (both preimplanted and postimplanted) with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) providing a means for evaluating the blood pumps and for developing good quality of blood pumps. It was observed that there were four kinds of surface defects on the inner surface of the blood pumps: air bubble domes, open bubble craters, contaminated dust and gel particles. Microcrakes had also been found on the diaphragm of the postimplanted pump. But in the newly improved blood pump that had been imlanted for 16 days, there were few defects on the blood contacting surface, and only a little fibrinous layer observed. It could be considered that the current design and modifications are reasonable. Since some problems associated with the surface defects and thrombosis still existed, further improvement in fabrication process and quality control procedures with SEM are under way.展开更多

It is the phase distribution that determines the propagation, reflection, refraction, focusing, divergence, and coupling features of light, and further affects the intensity distribution. In recent years, the designs of surface plasmon polariton （SPP） devices have mostly been based on the phase modulation and manipulation. Here we demonstrate a phase sensitive multi-parameter heterodyne scanning near-field opti- cal microscope （SNOM） with an aperture probe in the visible range, with which the near field optical phase and amplitude distributions can be simultaneously obtained. A novel architecture combining a spatial optical path and a fiber optical path is employed for stability and flexibility. Two kinds of typical nano-photonic devices are tested with the system. With the phase-sensitive SNOM, the phase and amplitude distributions of any nano-optical field and localized field generated with any SPP nano-structures and irregular phase modulation surfaces can be investigated. The phase distribution and the interference pattern will help us to gain a better understanding of how light interacts with SPP structures and how SPP waves generate, localize, convert, and propagate on an SPP surface. This will be a significant guidance on SPP nano-structure design and optimization.展开更多

By analyzing and calculating these parameters, the working clocks of the TDI CCD line scan camera are designed, which guarantees the synchronization of the line scan rate and the camera movement speed. The IL-E2 TDI CCD of DALSA Co. is used as the sensor of the camera in the paper. The working clock generator used for the TDI CCD sensor is realized by using the programmable logic device (PLD). The experimental results show that the working clock generator circuit satisfies the requirement of high speed TDI CCD line scan camera.展开更多
