Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), Chinese
Academy of Sciences recently developed a laser optical tweezers micro-operation
instrument for University of Toronto, Canada.

Laser optical tweezers is a new type of optical micro-manipulation and micro-machining
system. It introduces laser to the microscope acting on micro-objects, use laser
to achieve the clamping, operating and processing of tiny particles, and will
convert the micro-process observed under the microscope into digital video images
the computer can process through CCD image sensor and image acquisition card.
It is a set of optical mechanical and electrical integration equipment used
in modern research and teaching and has a wide range of applications in a number
of subject areas related to small particles such as life sciences, cell engineering,
cell biology, molecular immunology, genetic engineering, reproductive medicine,
micro devices, micro-processing, dispersion system, pharmacy, environment-protecting,
etc.
In recent years, the research team led by YAO Baoli in State Key Laboratory
of Transient Optics and Photonics has launched laser optical tweezers, femtosecond
laser scalpel, Micro-spectrometer and other researches. On the basis of successful
capture and master the core technology, the research team developed products
of laser optical tweezers with own intellectual property rights.
The laser optical tweezers micro-operation instrument developed by XIOPM has
many advantages, such as great capture power, high precision operation, the
realization of low magnification lens capturing particles, easy upgrading system
and low cost.
