Multiple Spot Optical Tweezers E3500 Elliot Scientific

The system is a fully functional computer controlled unit for the multiple spot trapping and manipulation of micron sized particles. It is designed to be attached to high quality commercial microscopes. An optional force measurement feature delivers a Photonic Force Microscope capability.

The E3500 system comprises an optical module containing the beam steering optics, external laser source, control module with the drive electronics, microscope interface, PC and unique software. The epifluorescence or camera port of the microscope is used to interface with the optical module and a range of interfaces are available, depending on the make and model of microscope.

Beam control is provided by high-speed acousto-optic beam deflectors. The system’s software and control electronics allow for the creation and independent manipulation of multiple optical traps anywhere within the field of view.
