Manufacturing challenging optical components
Our group works to characterize the interaction of biomolecules with solid
surfaces, writes Dennis Hore of
University of Victoria, Canada. Nature designs proteins with well-defined
structures in solution. The conformation of these molecules may serve a
structural purpose, or a chemical one in the case of enzymes. In order to
further the progress of technologies that immobilize such molecules on
synthetic surfaces (like biosensors employing enzymes), it is important to
have a detailed understanding and control of the interactions of these
molecules with the surface more
For that project Del Mar has been able to manufacture all shapes of prisms
from CaF2, fused silica, and ZnSe according to our custom specifications.
