COST Visit to IPCF-CNR, Messina

Tom and Onofrio in Messina
UCL Optical Tweezers Group PhD student Tom Smart recently undertook a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) to our colleagues at the NanoSoft Lab, IPCF-CNR (Messina), supported by the COST Action MP1205 Optofluidics.  The aim of Tom's visit was to learn the techniques of Raman spectroscopy on optically trapped particles, which directly addresses the COST action goal of "detection, identification and manipulation of biomolecules and nanomaterials."
