Do Holographic Optical Tweezers Work for Large Swimming Micro-Organisms?

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Trapping increasingly large particles by holographic optical tweezers requires more laser power, ultimately causing problems for biological specimens. We show how living microorganisms can nevertheless be handled safely and precisely by a combination of optical and acoustic forces in a “Macro-Tweezers” trap with a large field of view.
