Synthesis and characterization of CdO/GrO nanolayer for in vivo imaging
Objective(s): Nanomaterials are playing major roles in imaging by delivering large imaging payloads, yielding improved sensitivity. Nanoparticles have enabled significant advances in pre-clinical cancer research as drug delivery vectors. Inorganic nanoparticles such as CdO/GrO nanoparticles have novel optical properties that can be used to optimize the signal-to-background ratio. This paper rep...
متن کاملA Practical Guide to Optical Trapping
In the last few decades, novel microscopy techniques have been developed to monitor the activity of single enzymes as they perform their biological functions in vitro. Motor proteins such as kinesin, myosin, F1Fo ATPase, and RNA polymerase have been mercilessly subjected to magnetic, elastic, and optical forces [14, 40, 48, 16, 18]. In 1986, Ashkin and colleagues reported the first observation ...
متن کاملControlled rotation of birefringent particles in an optical trap.
Optical traps have been used in a multitude of applications requiring the sensing and application of forces. However, optical traps also have the ability to accurately apply and sense torques. Birefringent particles experience a torque when trapped in elliptically polarized light. By measuring the frequency content of the exiting beam, the rotational rates can be set up in a feedback loop and a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional holographic ring traps
We describe a class of diffractive optical elements intended for use in holographic optical trapping systems that project ring-like optical traps. Unlike optical vortex traps, which carry orbital angular momentum, these ring-like traps implement a force-free one-dimensional potential energy well for micrometer scale objects. Also unlike most optical vortices or ring-like Bessel beams, these rin...
متن کاملCombining single-molecule manipulation and single-molecule detection.
Single molecule force manipulation combined with fluorescence techniques offers much promise in revealing mechanistic details of biomolecular machinery. Here, we review force-fluorescence microscopy, which combines the best features of manipulation and detection techniques. Three of the mainstay manipulation methods (optical traps, magnetic traps and atomic force microscopy) are discussed with ...
