C. Arguello et al., A NEW OPTICAL METHOD BASED ON LASER KNIFE EDGE-DETECTION FOR MONITORING AND EARLY EMBRYONIC BEATING HEART, Measurement science & technology, 6(10), 1995, pp. 1433-1435
The usefulness of a new non-destructive and non-invasive method based
on the 'knife edge' detection technique for monitoring the contraction
, expansion, amplitude and frequency of beating hearts is discussed. T
he sample used to demonstrate the potentiality of this method was an e
arly embryonic heart of about 600 mu m in size.
