The central theme of this thesis is the use of imaging Surface Plasmon Resonance (iSPR) as a tool in the characterization of surfaces with laterally varying properties. Within the scope of this work, an instrument for iSPR analysis was designed and built.
Analysis of the chemical/biological species involved in health care is the most important step for diseases diagnosis and new drug screening. Barcoded nano/microparticles are attracting more and more interest for detection and identification of multiplexed chemical/biological species simultaneously. However, the development of
