The micropatterning system is a Nikon Eclipse Ti2 fluorescence widefield microscope equipped with an Alveolé Primo-1 digital micromirror device (DMD) that allows illumination of the field of view with a pattern. By illuminating the sample with UV light, the system enables creating patterns of surface coating on glass substrates and TEM grids for electron microscopy (e.g. local PEG passivation). In addition, the system is capable to generate 3D hydrogel structures on surfaces.
