Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled rotation of optically trapped microscopic particles.
Lynn Paterson,Michael P. MacDonald,Jochen Arlt,Wilson Sibbett,Peter E. Bryant,Kishan Dholakia +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate controlled rotation of optically trapped objects in a spiral interference pattern, which is generated by interfering an annular shaped laser beam with a reference beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creation and Manipulation of Three-Dimensional Optically Trapped Structures
Michael P. MacDonald,Lynn Paterson,Karen Volke-Sepúlveda,Jochen Arlt,Wilson Sibbett,Kishan Dholakia +5 more
TL;DR: An interferometric pattern between two annular laser beams is used to construct three-dimensional trapped structures within an optical tweezers setup and could play an important role in the creation of extended 3D crystalline structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual beam fibre trap for Raman micro-spectroscopy of single cells
Phillip R. T. Jess,Veneranda Garcés-Chávez,David Smith,Michael Mazilu,Lynn Paterson,Andrew Riches,C. S. Herrington,Wilson Sibbett,Kishan Dholakia +8 more
TL;DR: A dual beam fibre trap to hold and manoeuvre cells combined with an orthogonally placed objective to record Raman spectra is used and a rudimentary microfluidic system used to generate a flow of cells is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trapping and manipulation of low-index particles in a two-dimensional interferometric optical trap
TL;DR: This technique shows, for what is believed to be the first time, alignment of an array of hollow spheres and simultaneous manipulation of high- and low-index particles in the horizontal plane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplane imaging and three dimensional nanoscale particle tracking in biological microscopy
Paul A. Dalgarno,Heather I. C. Dalgarno,Aurélie Putoud,Robert W. Lambert,Lynn Paterson,David C. Logan,David P. Towers,Richard J. Warburton,Alan H. Greenaway +8 more
TL;DR: A microscope attachment is presented which records sharp images from several object-planes simultaneously, exploiting this multiplane imaging not just for bio-imaging but also for nano-particle tracking, achieving approximately 10 nm z position resolution by parameterising the images with an image sharpness metric.
