Elliot Scientific has introduced the latest version of its E3500 computer-controlled multiple-trap optical tweezer system with an E4100 quadrant photo detector (QPD) 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 Nikon microscope.
A similar system will be demonstrated by the company's tweezer team at February's Biophysical Society's 54th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
At Photonics West in January, the company will reveal its Optical Tweezer Roadmap.
