The disclosure encompasses transparent polymer membranes suitable for use in laser microdissection methods, where the membranes allow the subsequent analysis of the microdissected cell or cells with light of a wavelength that can traverse the membrane with little if any absorbance by the membrane. The transfer capture membranes of the disclosure comprise a polymeric composition having the characteristic of being cut by a laser light at a wavelength less than 360 nm, while being substantially optically transparent at a wavelength greater than about 360 nm. The disclosure further provides methods of isolating a cell or population of cells from a tissue, comprising: overlaying a tissue sample with a transfer capture membrane having the characteristic of being cut by a laser light at a wavelength less than 360 nm, and substantially optically transparent at a wavelength greater than about 360 nm, defining an area of the transfer capture membrane by a laser light cutting through the thickness of the transfer capture membrane and the issue sample; and removing the defined area of the transfer capture membrane with the targeted cell or population of cells adhering thereto.

Embodiments of the technology relate to a contact lens having a core that is covalently coated by a hydrogel layer, and to methods of making such a lens. In one aspect, embodiments provide for a coated contact lens comprising a lens core comprising an outer surface; and a hydrogel layer covalently attached to at least a portion of the outer surface, the hydrogel layer adapted to contact an ophthalmic surface, wherein the hydrogel layer comprises a hydrophilic polymer population having a first PEG species and a second PEG species, the first PEG species being at least partially cross-linked to the second PEG species.
