A unique scientific instrument, awarded a Physics Nobel prize in 2018, can be used to manipulate microscopic and sub-microscopic objects, such as particles, droplets, or even living cells in their natural environment. The typical dimensions of the objects studied range from 0.1 µm to 30 µm. Our compact optical tweezers use a highly focused laser beam to create an optical trap.
