A hybrid system for THz reflectometric imaging at 0.6 THz synchronizes a multiplied Gunn source with a femtosecond lasers for electro-optic detection and reaches 60 db dynamic range and 25 ms ...measurement time per pixel.
Characterization of the surface figure of technical materials by interferometry in the visible or near-IR wavelength regime becomes difficult or impossible if the surface is rough on the length scale ...of a tenth of the wavelength used. In this case, THz radiation can provide an interesting alternative. We demonstrate two methods for the accurate determination of the surface topography: THz heterodyne profilometry and THz ESAD (extended shear angle difference) deflectometry.
A method of haemagglutinin (HA) purification by means of K2-tartarate gradient centrifugation is described. Different influenza virus strains possessing the antigenic formulas H1N1, H2N2 and H3N2 ...yielded pure and immunologically active HA samples.
