Function and Applications

Optical tweezers, also known as optical traps, move and manipulate small particles using only a beam of light.

• Demonstration of the basic Principles of optical tweezers

• Investigation of Brownian motion and trapping of microspheres with a visible laser

• Demonstration of 3D trapping with water-cream solution

• Transportable without readjustment

• Based on the experiment for the Nobel Prize by Arthur Ashkin, 2018

• Sample preparation kit optimized for optical tweezers is not included
