Angioplasty is performed with expandable polymer balloon catheters to dilate stenosed, or narrowed, vessels. Calcified, fibrous, and/or resilient stenosis may require special scoring or cutting angioplasty balloons with integrated wires or blades on the balloon. The added features focus and improve dilating force but result in large crossing profiles and limited delivera...
Glass plates, coverslip, or object holder slide? The small glass rectangles on which the samples are placed have many names. Depending on your education and where you come from, you will hear one or the other. Let’s say for simplicity’s sake that the thicker glass plate on which the sample is deposited is a slide and the very thin piece of glass that is deposited on t...
