Abstract
We report a photothermal delivery of microscopic objects based on convection flows at the surface of water. The convection flows were induced by photothermal effect through a laser beam of wavelength from a fiber tip. A diameter oil drop was delivered forward and backward by changing the laser beam at a power of . In addition, the delivery has been further demonstrated with a cluster of carbon and red blood cells at the laser powers of 14 and , respectively.
