The classification criterion was primarily based on the dimensionality of the nano- or micro-scale objects represented in the images.
A microtubule network connects multiple nano- or micro-scale objects (i.e., nanomachines).
We studied the sorting of micro-scale objects by use of an optically induced asymmetric double-well potential.
The discrete dipole approximation (DDA), a powerful modeling tool for rigorous 3-D vector scattering, has shown its capability to predict the light scattering from micro-scale objects.
By observing the displacements of select points in the mechanism, the manipulation forces can be extracted in real-time to achieve force-guided manipulation of micro-scale objects.
This paper presents the design and development of a novel tool, called the micro-clasp gripper, for accomplishing firm and stable gripping and manipulation of complex-shaped micro-scale objects in any orientation using a single rectilinear actuator.
Noteworthy, this part highlights methods for cell separation and manipulation with a focus on micro-scale objects, as well as latest studies and developments that contributed to the fields of science where these methods found their use.
Although surface modification techniques (high energy radiation/chemical treatment) to modify the hydrophobicity of PLGA can be useful at the macroscopic scale, their usefulness for micro-/nano-meter scale objects can be limited due to adverse affects on physical properties.
Oxman's research brings together design, biology, material science, and computer science to fundamentally rethink how we design and manufacture objects from the micro scale to the building scale.
The results presented here leads to a significant optimization of the important design parameters to sense micro-scale biological objects.
This waveguide is designed to increase the overlap of the evanescent field extension from the sensor face with the micro-scale biological objects in the bulk solution, to place most of the entire volume of the bacteria within the evanescent field.
