Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

This lecture discusses experimental techniques that can be used to characterize the structure and mechanics of biomaterials. First, macro- and microrheological techniques for determining the viscoelastic properties of biomaterials are reviewed. Then, imaging techniques such as optical microscopy (including contrast enhancement, fluorescence, super-resolution microscopy), electron microscopy, atomic-force microscopy as well as scattering techniques (such as x-ray and neutron scattering) as well as NMR are discussed. Finally, techniques for micro- and nanostructuring and their applications in microfluidics are reviewed. |
