Lightsheet optical tweezer (LOT) for optical manipulation of microscopic particles and live cells

Abstract Optical trapping and patterning cells or microscopic particles is fascinating. We developed a light sheet-based optical tweezer to trap dielectric particles and live HeLa cells. The technique requires the generation of a tightly focussed diffraction-limited light-sheet realized by a combina...
