Cell Flipping

A large cheek cell (~60 microns in size) suspended in water is lifted and flipped over from one side to the other (Yellow false color)
Flow Sorting

Using a custom flow chip, polydispersed beads flowing in from the top channel are 'sorted' using a pattern of traps which transfer the larger beads into the bottom channel (Green false color)
Trap and Grab

Demo of the BioRyx 200 software where multiple beads are trapped in real-time with click-and-drag mouse movement (screen capture)
Cell Isolation

Optical traps are used to move several sperm cells away from other cells and debris (Orange false color)
Colloid Assembly

A permanent 3D structure of colloidal spheres is assembled using optical traps (see ref paper by Chris Knutson)
Click to Trap

BioRyx 200 software demo showing Point-and-click trapping of all on-screen objects
Cell Darkfield

Two epithelial cells trapped and pulled apart viewed using darkfield illumination (LabRyx)
Spheres Filled Holes

Using traps to position 2 micron spheres inside cavities etched into a glass surface
3D Motion

BioRyx 200 software demo using three-dimensional trapping to move one object over another
Live Bacteria

Live bacteria held in place by optical traps which orient the rod-like cells vertically until they are released
Vortex Motion

A 'vortex' optical trapping mode is used to rotate small beads (500 nm) in a circle (Blue false color)
3D Paths

BioRyx 200 software demo showing multiple paths that move trapped objects in three dimensions
Rotating Line Trap

Live bacterium held horizontally using an optical 'line trap' to prevent vertical alignment of rod-like cell and rotated counterclockwise(LabRyx)
LabRyx Zoom

LabRyx software demo showing a digital zoom in on 3 trapped 2.0 micron spheres which are moved over and against one another
Group Trapped Objects

BioRyx 200 software demo showing how to form a group of objects and moving them together in real time


Grouping Paths

BioRyx 200 software demo showing how to move a group of objects in unison along a path
