Machine learning reveals complex behaviours in optically trapped particles

Isaac C. D. Lenton, Giovanni Volpe, Alexander B. Stilgoe +2

Since their invention in the 1980s [1], optical tweezers have found a wide range of applications, from biophotonics and mechanobiology to microscopy and optomechanics [2, 3, 4, 5].…

OTSLM Toolbox for Structured Light Methods

Isaac C D Lenton, Alexander B Stilgoe, Timo A Nieminen +1

We present a new Matlab toolbox for generating phase and amplitude patterns for digital micro-mirror device (DMD) and liquid crystal (LC) based spatial light modulators (SLMs). Thi…

Orientation of Swimming Cells with Annular Beam Optical Tweezers

Isaac C. D. Lenton, Declan J. Armstrong, Alexander B. Stilgoe +2

Optical tweezers are a versatile tool that can be used to manipulate small particles including both motile and non-motile bacteria and cells. The orientation of a non-spherical par…

Visual guide to optical tweezers

Isaac C. D. Lenton, Alexander B. Stilgoe, Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop +1

It is common to introduce optical tweezers using either geometric optics for large particles or the Rayleigh approximation for very small particles. These approaches are successful…
