Nanotrapping and the thermodynamics of optical tweezers
W. Singer, T. A. Nieminen, N. R. Heckenberg +1
Particles that can be trapped in optical tweezers range from tens of microns down to tens of nanometres in size. Interestingly, this size range includes large macromolecules. We sh…
Collecting single molecules with conventional optical tweezers
Wolfgang Singer, Timo A. Nieminen, Norman R. Heckenberg +1
The size of particles which can be trapped in optical tweezers ranges from tens of nanometres to tens of micrometres. This size regime also includes large single molecules. Here we…
Orientation of optically trapped nonspherical birefringent particles
Wolfgang Singer, Timo A. Nieminen, Ursula J. Gibson +2
While the alignment and rotation of microparticles in optical traps have received increased attention recently, one of the earliest examples has been almost totally neglected the a…
