    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of detecting exosomes, including unlabeled exosomes. In some embodiments, the methods include disposing a fluidic sample that comprises a plurality of exosomes in a chamber that is positioned at least partially within a fluidic device in which an inner surface of the chamber comprises a first set of exosome binding moieties that are capable of binding the exosomes. In some embodiments, the methods also include binding a portion of the plurality of exosomes to a portion of the first set of exosome binding moieties to produce surface-bound exosomes, introducing an incident light toward the inner surface of the chamber prior to, concurrent with, and/or after, producing the surface-bound exosomes, and detecting light scattered by the surface-bound exosomes to produce a set of exosome imaging data. Related fluidic devices, systems, and computer readable media are also provided.

    Abstract: A stabilizing locking clamp for a kinematic optical mount includes a clamp plate configured for optical access and a plurality of clamp actuators affixed to the clamp plate. The clamp actuators are positioned such that each clamp actuator exerts a force on a front plate of the kinematic optical mount in a push-push configuration. A stabilizing kinematic optical mount includes a kinematic optical mount and a plurality of clamp arms, each clamp arm including a clamp actuator positioned to exert a force on a front plate of the kinematic optical mount in a push-push configuration. The stabilizing locking clamp and stabilizing kinematic optical mount reduce temperature-dependent and vibration-induced changes in pitch and yaw, thereby improving pointing stability for optical setups that rely on critical beam alignment.
