From: Laser cavitation rheology for measurement of elastic moduli and failure strain within hydrogels

Laser-induced cavitation rheology setup. The laser microscope consists of a microchip laser emitting λ = 532 nm, 500 ps duration pulses integrated within a standard inverted microscope to enable the generation of cavitation bubbles within hydrogel samples. Cavitation dynamics were measured via time-resolved photography where bubbles were imaged using a high-speed ICCD camera with illumination provided by a laser-excited dye cell.
