Evaporation of thin films using intense laser light observed operando in a scanning electron microscope
Boleloucká, Eliška ; Ukropcová, Iveta (referee) ; Nováček, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work focuses on the modification of the sample surface using intense laser light. This is one of the desired features of the new generation of multifunctional SPM probes, which are under development. In the first chapter is introduced the SPM probe itself, which allows correlative measurements. Following section contains the implementation of the intense laser light into the electron microscope chamber, together with the modification made to the detection branch of the microscope. The COMSOL Multiphysics software environment is used to simulate the interaction of the laser light with the sample surface. The results of the simulations of the temperature field in the sample are then compared with the results of the direct interaction of the sample surface with the laser light in the electron microscope chamber.

Critical review of culture devices used for study of live cells in the microscope
Ukropcová, Iveta ; Štrbková, Lenka (referee) ; Dostál, Zbyněk (advisor)
Coherence-controlled holographic microscope (CCHM) is used mainly in live cell microscopy in vitro. The cells observed must be placed in a culture device which enables hologram registration. With using the quantitative phase imaging (QPI) the live cells are inspected. Conventional cultivation devices are usually not adapted to the QPI method. In this text requirements are specified for cultivation devices for CCHM. A critical review of commercially available cultivation devices is the crucial part of the thesis, as well as an assessment of whether these devices meet the specified requirements. This work also deals with the issue of microfluidic and its application to live cell imaging. In the last part of the text two hybrid cultivation devices optimized for CCHM are described, which allow microfluidic cellular experiments.

Automated bioreactor for the cultivation of living cells
Ukropcová, Iveta ; Tolde, Ondřej (referee) ; Dostál, Zbyněk (advisor)
Control of cultivation conditions in the~live cell imaging extends the possibilities of biological experiments and makes the experimental results more reliable. In order to change the~cultivation conditions in a controlled manner and increase the reproducibility of the experiments, it is necessary to reduce the amount of manual operations and replace them with automated procedures. Therefore, the concept of a new automated culture device (bioreactor) was created. This device controls the exchange of medium in the observation chamber, ensures the circulation and exchange of the atmosphere and controls its composition. The bioreactor is intended for use in the Laboratory of Experimental Biophotonics. This laboratory is equipped with coherence-controlled holographic microscope (CCHM), which uses quantitative phase imaging (QPI) method. Thus, the bioreactor is adapted to the current requirements of this laboratory and optical elements of the bioreactor meet the requirements of the QPI method. This text specifies the cultivation conditions of the living cells and summarizes, how the conditions could be controlled in the live cell microscopy. Next some commercially available culture devices are described and assessed, whether they are convenient for the~use in Laboratory of Experimental Biophotonics. The crucial part of the thesis is the~design, construction and testing of the new bioreactor.
