High Yielding Microbubble Production Method

Figure 3

(a) Selected image shows nitrogen core primary bubble forming inside liquid cone. The primary nitrogen gas bubbles issuing from the inner-most capillary were subsequently fragmented into secondary microbubbles while passing through the aperture. Scale bar represents 60 μm. (b) The schematic shows the same process as captured in (a). However, it includes label. (c) A micrograph of the secondary microbubble population produced under optimal conditions. The micrograph of the microbubbles illuminated with white light was captured using Leica DC150 at 50x magnification and the scale bar on the micrograph represents 5 μm.
