Optical micromanipulation.

Optical micromanipulation has engendered some major studies across all of the natural sciences at the mesoscopic scale. Though over thirty-five years old, the field is finding new applications and has lost none of its dynamic or innovative character: a trapped object presents a system that enables a calibrated minuscule force (piconewtons or less) to be exerted at will, enabling precision displ...

Clinical Aspects of Freezing Cold Injury

Micromanipulation and Micro-Assembly Systems

The needs to manipulate micrometer sized objects keeps growing and concerns numerous and various fields like microsystems (MEMS1 and MOEMS2), micromechanics, optics, biology or pharmacy. The specificities of size, material, geometry and consistency of manipulated micro-objects, their surrounding, the kind of task to perform and the free size are all the more specific parameters that strongly in...

Evaluation of freezing tolerance in olive cultivars by stomatal density and freezing stress

Selection of frost tolerant cultivars and understanding the mechanisms of frost hardiness could help to improve freezing resistance in olive plants. Olive cultivars may differ in frost hardiness due to differential survival of specific organs. The aim of this study was to screen different olive cultivars based on their stomatal density and metabolic modifications under cold conditions. The ‘Zar...
