Holographic Optical Tweezing (Hot) Application Note

Summary Holographic optical tweezing leverages tightly focused laser beams to precisely manipulate objects in three-dimensional space, making it a powerful tool for fundamental physics, biological research, and cold atom trapping. By utilizing a spatial light modulator (SLM) to modulate the phase of an incident laser beam, this technique generates a 3D volume of focal points […]

General Microscopy Application Note

Summary Advancements in microscopy imaging are addressing key challenges such as spherical aberration correction in 3D imaging, motion artifact reduction, and the development of new imaging modalities. Spatial light modulators (SLMs) play a crucial role in enhancing traditional microscopy by dynamically controlling wavefronts to optimize image quality. By integrating SLMs, researchers can correct optical distortions, […]
