A three-dimensional (3D) defocusing-based particle tracking method and applications to inertial focusing in microfluidic devices

Three-dimensional analysis of particles in flows within microfluidic devices is a necessary technique in the majority of current microfluidics research. One method that allows for accurate determination of particle positions in channels is defocusing-based optical detection. This thesis investigates...
