Design of Optical Micromachines for Use in Biologically Relevant Environments

摘要: Advances in nanofabrication over the past twenty years have enabled creation and use of ever-more interesting useful micromachines. Optical micromachines are a particularly attractive subset these for researchers biological soft-matter sciences, due to their potential aid optical tweezer studies laser-sensitive samples. However, development multi-component is made difficult dominance surface forces at this scale, which all more relevant high-salt concentrations used studies. This study concerns design simple, first-class lever environments with different salt concentrations, an attempt provide guideline requirements functional physiological conditions.
