(a) A photograph of an assembled micromixer (type Y with 100 µm ID) before connection to a GDVN. (b) A microscopic image showing a detailed view of the mixing initiation area. (c) Magnified regions of the mixing channel–capillary interface, showing the 3D hydrodynamic flow focusing of a central ink stream (main channel) where the diluting water (entering from the side channel) runs at various flow rates. The mixed species is seamlessly transferred from the 2PP-3D printed part into the capillary extension. |
