van den Brink, Rick (author)Fast and accurate diagnosis of illnesses or other health complications is not accessible in many locations around the world. Due to this, illnesses are unnecessarily left untreated. Therefore, AiDx Medical has developed a portable automated diagnostic microscope with re liable and rapid AI-assisted detection specifically for low-resource...master thesis 2023

Hoogland, Maxime (author)CO2 electrolysis to form CO with the use of electricity from renewable sources is a promising technique in closing the carbon cycle. Via the electrochemical reduction CO2 can be converted into different hydrocarbon products. These value-added products are for example CO, HCOOH, CH3OH or C2H4. The direct electrochemical route of CO2 reduction is...master thesis 2023

Saravanakumar, Karthikeyan (author)The chemistry of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is one of the main factors affecting its reactivity. Knowing the composition of GGBFS used in aged concrete may help understand its past performance and estimate remaining service life. It is well known that GGBFS generally react slower than cement clinker. This thesis proposes that...master thesis 2023

van der Maarel, Stefan (author)High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy is widely used for investigating biological architectures and the semiconductor industry. The main limitation comes from parachuting or the Wile E. Coyote effect. Parachuting is the phenomenon where the cantilever taps on the sample towards a steep decrease in height, but does not get adjusted for this decrease...master thesis 2022

Akella, Arun (author)The kato katz method was, and still is, an invaluable tool to diagnose schistosomiasis mansoni en masse in high and medium intensity infection areas that are economically backward. Due to the current sensitivity capabilities of 24 EPG, the standard kato katz method is unable to diagnose very low intensity infections. And even though alternatives...master thesis 2022

Tromp, Bart (author)Confocal microscopy is often used to make three-dimensional high-resolution images of biological samples. It is done by reflecting a laser beam off of a dichroic mirror, and focusing it on a sample with the use of a microscope. This sample is treated with a fluorescent dye. The dye molecules emit light of a higher wavelength with an intensity...master thesis 2022

van Dijk, Raymond (author)The microscope is an essential tool for biologists. Since the late 16th century, it has given researchers a better understanding of cell processes and greatly advanced healthcare. In this century, Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has revolutionized optical microscopy by breaking the optical diffraction limit. Sparsely activating...master thesis 2022

Houwink, Quint (author)Optical microscopes are fundamentally limited to a resolution of several hundreds of nanometers by the diffraction of light. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) circumvents this limit by sparsely exciting fluorescent molecules at different time instances. Single molecules can subsequently be localized with improved precision over the...master thesis 2021
