- Additional information
- We employ optically trapped micro-rotors to manipulate the surrounding fluid and thus particles freely diffusing within it. By controlling the directions of each micro-rotor, we can either move the particle to a specific location or hold it in one spot. This allows particles to be sorted or imaged at high resolution and is being exploited through ERC Starting Grants 804626. The authors were invited to present this work at the Optical Manipulation and Structured Materials Conference, Japan, 2020 (http://toc.proceedings.com/54925webtoc.pdf, 11522-34). .
