Touching the microworld

This is the aim of IOTA Project, funded by ANR France and DIM Elicit.
We are using the power of light to manipulate cells and molecules, and let the user control and feel the interaction with his fingertips.
Haptic feedback enables fine manipulation
Optical Tweezers
- A tightly focused laser beam to trap micro objects (1 - 5 µm)

- Laser wavelength : 1070nm
- Laser power: 400mW
3D force measurement :
- Position tracking with an Event-Camera
- ~ 10 pn resolution, 300 pN max
