The Electronic Control System of Automatic Optical Scissors and Optical Tweezers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optical tweezers and optical scissors is becoming a widely used technology. However, optical tweezers system that has been used, is not well automatic and convenient to operate. This article will introduce an automatic control system, mainly by describing the design, the composition and function of the system, which can automatically control each part of the entire platform by using a computer. The spatial resolution of the system has reached sub-nanometer level.
