Microscope-integrated Micromanipulator based on Multiple VCSEL Traps • Build an optically actuated scanning optical microscope • That can be powered up with a VCSEL array and with a large number of microlenses for parallelism • Where each microlens can be controlled independently in 3D for enhancing resolution at points of interest • The microscope stage needn’t to be moved so that the influence of the background flow on microlenses are minimized • Individually manipulate microparticles, such as cells, etc. Bing Shao Advisor: Sadik C. Esener ECE, UCSD bshao@soliton.ucsd.edu Tel: 1 858 822-4158 Three yeast cells are collected by a single VCSEL tweezers and form a predefined pattern trapped by a VCSEL tweezers array. The cell group is transported by agile VCSEL tweezers array, and disbanded by the single VCSEL tweezers. Experimental setup of microscope-integrated multiple VCSEL micromanipulator. Counter-clockwise rotation of a PC-12 cell with double VCSEL traps.
