Optical tweezers for force measurements on DNA in nanopores
We demonstrate the means to integrate two powerful and widely used single-molecule techniques, viz., optical tweezers and solid-state nanopores. This setup permits simultaneous spatial sampling and high-resolution force measurements of nucleic acids and proteins. First, we demonstrate the rapid spatial localization of nanopores using our custom-built inverted microscope and ionic current measur...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Optical Nanofiber Integrated into Optical Tweezers for In Situ Fiber Probing and Optical Binding Studies
Precise control of particle positioning is desirable in many optical propulsion and sorting applications. Here, we develop an integrated platform for particle manipulation consisting of a combined optical nanofiber and optical tweezers system. We show that consistent and reversible transmission modulations arise when individual silica microspheres are introduced to the nanofiber surface using t...
متن کاملInvestigation of inclined dual-fiber optical tweezers for 3D manipulation and force sensing.
Optical tweezers provide a versatile tool in biological and physical researches. Optical tweezers based on optical fibers are more flexible and ready to be integrated when compared with those based on microscope objectives. In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) trapping ability of an inclined dual-fiber optical tweezers is demonstrated. The trapping efficiency with respect to displacement i...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurements of electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces using optical tweezers.
Herein, charged microbeads handled with optical tweezers are used as a sensitive probe for simultaneous measurements of electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces. We first determine the electric charge carried by a single bead by keeping it in a predictable uniform electric field produced by two parallel planar electrodes, then, we examine same bead's response in proximity to a tip electrode...
