Micro-PIV

Micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (Micro-PIV) is a technique used to measure fluid flow at very small scales, such as in tiny channels or cells. It involves adding tiny particles into the fluid, illuminating them with a laser sheet, and capturing images at different times. By analyzing how these particles move between images, scientists can determine the speed and direction of the fluid flow. This method provides detailed, high-resolution maps of fluid dynamics in microscopic environments, useful for research in electronics, biology, and engineering.
