Opto-electrostatic micro-manipulation (OEMM) of cells and fine particles has been developed by using optical pressure in combination with electrostatic force. Examples of OEMM are presented:(1) a single cell feeding device.(2) introduction of fine particles into plant protoplast and their micro-manuplations inside a cell, (3) a measuring system of non-spherical cell configulations using optical trapping and electrstatic orientation. Damage to living cells caused by laser irradiation is also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
