    Ok how would i go about doing this with LEDs or some other light source?

    Undergrad Heat Biological Material with Laser: Finding the Right Settings

    My thinking was that I would be able to oscillate the lasers "power" to the required tempatures faster and more effeciantly then convential PCR machines.

    Undergrad Heat Biological Material with Laser: Finding the Right Settings

    Well my whole idea was to create a PCR machine that utilized a laser, to alow for smaller sample sizes and a reduction in radiated heat

    Does Electrical wire suffer 'wear' from electrons?

    Is the effect canceled out on AC because the electrons flow both ways?

    Undergrad How does light spread beyond a cone?

    This could just be a setup of the render mode of the modeling program used. There could be extra lights out side the picture to illumante the flashlight, or maybe some other shading method. Most renderers base there graphical extrapolations on physics based simulations such as ray-tracing, yet...

    Undergrad Heat Biological Material with Laser: Finding the Right Settings

    I need to heat a sample of biological materal to a certan tempature with a laser. How do I find the right amplitude/wavelength/power to reach the correct tempature? (sorry my spelling could be better) ^.^
