Hi, The PDMS microchannel looks good. I am using PDMS bonded with Glass slide. I use it for flow visualization study using microPIV. The particles that I use are from Invitrogen and they are 1um fluorescent based particles. The glass slide forms the bottom wall of the channel. The other 3 walls are made from PDMS. The ceiling of the channel has an array of grooves(herringbone pattern). So, if you are traversing along the cieling, you will encounter a grove which is 20um x 50 um and spans the entire channel(2.5mm), which is then followed by the ceiling. This pattern continues. When I pass the particle solution and take images using a Nd:YAG laser, The portions of the ceiling where there are no grooves appear saturated(very bright).. I am not sure as to why this is happening. If you need more info, I can email the picture so that you will get a better understandig of the problem as my explanation could be hard to follow. Thanks a bunch in advance. Vishwa
