Medicine A Novel Approach to Overcome Movement Artifact When Using a Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging System for Alternating Speeds of Blood Microcirculation Shayan Bahadori1, Tikki Immins1, Thomas W. Wainwright1 1Orthopaedic Research Institute, Bournemouth University This study introduces a novel technique for the measurement and analysis of alternating speeds of blood microcirculation in a single experiment using a laser speckle contrast imager. Medicine Molecular Probe Optimization to Determine Cell Mortality in a Photosynthetic Organism (Microcystis aeruginosa) Using Flow Cytometry Ian J. Chapman1, Genoveva F. Esteban1, Daniel J. Franklin1 1Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Bournemouth University Microbial populations contain substantial cell heterogeneity, which can dictate overall behavior. Molecular probe analysis through flow cytometry can determine physiological states of cells, however its application varies between species. This study provides a protocol to accurately determine cell mortality within a cyanobacterium population, without underestimating or recording false positive results.
