Current control techniques for optical tweezers work only when the cell is located in a small
neighbourhood around the centroid of the focused light beam. Therefore, the optical …

Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful technology for solving today's real-world problems. It
provides a way for people to visualize, manipulate, and interact with simulated environments …

We present a simple control scheme for changing the position of a microscopic particle
immersed in a viscous medium and trapped by optical tweezers. We derive a simple …

Micromanipulation is challenging due to the specific physical effects governing the
microworld. Interactive approaches using only visual feedback are limited to the 2D image of …

The extraordinary progress that has taken place in cell science and optical nanoscale
microscopy has led recently to the concept of medical nanoscopy. Here, we lay out a …

Using optical tweezers (OT) and a haptic device, microspheres having diameters ranging
from 3 to 4 μm (floating in a fluid solution) are manipulated in order to form patterns of …

We report the manipulation of glass microspheres having a diameter of 3-10 μm using
optical tweezers and with haptic feedback. We detect the position of a microsphere …

Based on the fact that optical tweezers (OT) constitute a flat system, with flat outputs given by
the horizontal and vertical position coordinates of the geometric centre of the laser beam, a …

Most diseases, regardless of their diverse etiologies, manifest themselves as defects of
cellular proteins. Cellular proteins have been recently shown to form specific complexes …

Achievements in the investigation of nanomanipulation in robotics are considered. New
systems for information processing in real time with a specific man—machine interface are …
