Scientific has recently introduced a new version of the E3500
computer-controlled multiple-trap optical tweezer system with E4100 QPD
(Quadrant Photo Detector) force measurement facility. The system utilises two
fibre-coupled lasers: one for trapping and the other for the probe beam.
The tweezer was built into a high-end Nikon microscope and a similar system
will be demonstrated by our tweezer team at February's Biophysical Society's
54th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. At January's Photonics West, we will
reveal our Optical Tweezer Roadmap. A presentation that will detail the future
development of this product range, showing the new technologies and applications
ahead.
