Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On-field experiments were realized thanks to carry-on detection equipment. It consists in two blue LEDs (Thorlabs – M490L3–490 nm) combined with a first lense (Thorlabs ACL25416U-A), two filters (Thorlabs FES0500 – Thorlabs M497-16) and a second lense (Thorlabs LA1422-A) to light the paper. The signal emitted by the biological reaction on paper is collected by a linear camera (Thorlabs LC-100) through a first lense (Thorlabs ACL3026-A), a FITC dichroic filter (Thorlabs MD499), a filter (Thorlabs FELH0500) and a second lense (Thorlabs ACL25416U-A). The paper device is positioned on a chip holder heated by a PTC heater (DBK HP05), controlled by a platine thermic element (RS Components PT 1000ohms) and a temperature controller (Carel IR33). A home-made Microsoft Office 2007 macro program enables to extract data from the linear camera recording software (Splicco), to detect the position of the maximum fluorescence intensity for each paper rectangular area and to monitor the mean intensity around each maximum over time.

Macro-Zoom Camera Setup for Specimen Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A DMK 33UX250 camera (The Imaging Source), equipped with a ML-MC25HR macro-zoom lens (Moritex) and an optical filter stack consisting of a FES0500 (Thorlabs), a BG7 and a S8612 (both from Schott) was attached to the upper transversal aluminum rail, such that the camera could hang in between the IR-lamp heating component at a working distance of 18.6 cm from the recorded specimen. The optical filter stack was chosen to block any light produced by the incandescent IR lamps (> 570 nm), while allowing blue light from the LED illumination ring to pass (Fig. 3C and 3D).

Perovskite Solar Cell EQE Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
External quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra of the perovskite solar cells were obtained using a homemade setup without light bias in a DC mode using a tungsten light source, a SP AB301-T monochromator, two Keithey 2425 source meters, and a Si reference cell. The system was calibrated using a certified Fraunhofer CalLab reference cell. The EQE spectra of the silicon subcell were measured in a temperature-controlled and nitrogen-filled apparatus with a Protoflex QE1400 system in conjunction with a lock-in amplifier in AC mode (270 Hz). We first illuminated the tandem device with a blue light-emitting diode chip (peak emission at 450 nm) housed with a shortpass filter (Thorlabs FES0500) to provide sufficient current for the perovskite subcell. The battery power supply and a current meter were then connected in series with the cell and the lock-in amplifier to address artifacts that might occur because of relatively small shunt resistance in the tandem device. A forward bias voltage was then applied and adjusted until negligible current (10 nA) was recorded. After the setup had been completed, EQE measurements were performed (13 ).

The optoelectronic devices were laminated on a large photodiode (S170C, Thorlabs) and covered with a custom-built reflective piece. The captured light power was measured using an optical power meter (PM100D, Thorlabs). For measurements involving micro-LEDs covered with phosphor-PDMS composite, the converted light (λ = 590 or 620 nm) and the transmitted blue light (λ = 470 nm) powers were quantified individually using optical filters with cut-off λ = 500 nm (FES0500, FEL0500, Thorlabs).

Spectroscopic Characterization of Advanced Optoelectronic Materials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All absorption data was taken on a Varian Cary 500 spectrometer. Rhodamine 6G emission measurements were taken on a Horiba Scientific Fluorolog spectrofluorimeter using a monochromated Xe lamp as the excitation source. CEP blend film and Stilbene-420 emission spectra were taken on a LaserStrobe spectrometer from Photon Technology International using a GL-3300 nitrogen laser and GL-302 dye laser attachment, also from Photon Technology International. Upconverted emission spectra were measured with the emission filtered by a 500 nm short-pass filter from Thorlabs, model FES0500, to prevent reflected excitation light from interfering with the measured emission signal. Laser power was measured with a 919P-003-10 thermopile sensor from Newport. Time-Resolved Single Photon Counting Data (in Extended Data section) was taken using excitation light generated by a Fianium SC400 supercontinuum fibre laser with wavelength selected by a Fianium AOTF system. Detection was measured via a photomultiplier tube connected to a Becker-Hickl SPC-130 system. All data was collected with signal count rate at <2% of excitation rep rate to ensure proper TCSPC statistics. All spectra were corrected for the spectral responsivities of the systems used for data collection.

Fluorescence Imaging of Single Viruses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 488 nm diode laser (200 mW, Cobolt 06-MLD) was used for fluorescence excitation. The excitation beam was expanded through a 4f system (f1 = 50 mm, LA1131-A-ML and f2 = 300 mm, LA1484-A-ML, Thorlabs) and then coupled into the light path of probe laser. The fluorescence emission went through the same objective lens and was collected with a filter set (Excitation filter: FES0500, Thorlabs; Dichroic beam splitter: Di03-R405/488/532/635-t1-25×36, Sermock; Emission filter: FF01-525/30-25, Sermock). A CMOS camera (FLIR, Grasshopper3GS3-U3-51S5M) was used to capture the fluorescence images and the exposure time was set to 5 s for optimized contrast. Virus samples on silicon substrate were first imaged by fluorescence to confirm the single virus and then imaged with WIDE-MIP at the same position.

The fluorescence imaging was pursued by a laser-scanning fluorescence modality integrated into the MIP microscope. An additional 488 nm laser (06-MLD, Cobolt) was co-aligned with the 532 nm laser to serve as the excitation source, with the laser power output set at 12 mW. The power of the excitation laser on sample was around 0.1 mW. A 60x water immersion objective with NA of 1.2 was used (UPlanApo, Olympus) as MIP imaging. The fluorescence emission was collected in an epi-direction with a filter set (Excitation filter: FES0500, Thorlabs; Dichroic beam splitter: Di03-R405/488/532/635-t1–25×36, Sermock; Emission filter: FF01–525/30–25, Sermock). The emitted photons were collected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT, H10721–110, Hamamatsu). The transmitted images were collected using the MIP imaging mode. The confocal fluorescence images were acquired on a Zeiss LSM 880 laser scanning microscope equipped with a ×63/1.4 NA oil immersion objective and ZEN software was used to collect the data.

Optical Manipulation and Tomography System

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The comprehensive experimental setup of the proposed tomography system is demonstrated in Supplementary Fig. 2. This system employs an MCF (FIGH-350S, Fujikura) to dynamically modulate the output light field, controlled by an SLM (PLUTO-2, Holoeye), which further enables optical control of cell rotation. The core of the setup, the MCF-OCR, comprises the MCF and an opposing SMF (SM600, Thorlabs). The SMF has dual functions: it accommodates the reference beam used for calibrating the MCF, and it is also used as the waveguide for the near-infrared fiber laser (Eylsa 780; Quantel), which is responsible for optical trapping. The output laser power from each optical fiber is kept under 40 mW to minimize the risk of photodamage and photothermal effects. A custom-built brightfield microscope is used to image the cell rotation process. We use a blue light-emitting diode (LED) (M455L4, Thorlabs) as the light source for bright-field imaging. The area of optical manipulation is magnified by a microscope objective (50×, 0.42 NA, Mitutoyo) and tube lens (TTL200, Thorlabs), and this magnified image is projected onto a recording camera (Ueye CP, IDS) via lens systems. To achieve clear and high-contrast imaging, short-pass filters (FES0500, Thorlabs) are positioned before the camera to eliminate scattered light from the laser beams used for optical manipulation.
