Abstract
Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is a nanoporous material with well-defined hexagonally ordered, cylindrical parallel pores running straight through the material’s thickness. Owing to the transparency of AAO, thin-films of this material have been explored for in situ monitoring of biological relevant processes occurring within these nanoporous templates by using optical waveguide spectroscopy (OWS) and fluorescence microscopy.
