Inside Front Cover: Optical formation and manipulation of particle and cell patterns using a tapered optical fiber (Laser Photonics Rev. 7(5)/2013)

摘要

An optical method for formation and controllable manipulation of particle and cell patterns is proposed. With a laser beam at 980 nm wavelength launched into a tapered optical fiber, different sized particles and cells are formed into particle/cell chains and arrays with controllable numbers in a highly organized manner. The formed patterns can be flexibly manipulated in three dimensions.(Picture: H. Xin, R. Xu, and B. Li10.1002/lpor.201300028, pp. 801-809, in this issue)
