A Scanned Laser Makes Viscous Fluid Spin the Sample
Helical thermoviscous flows rotated micro-objects out of plane and improved multiview microscopy.
Summary
Helical thermoviscous flows rotated micro-objects out of plane and improved multiview microscopy.
A focused infrared laser scanned a two-dimensional pattern to create three-dimensional flows, holding spinning particles within roughly 200 nanometers of position. Fixed-cell demonstrations resolved nuclei hidden in one view; live-cell compatibility in the viscous medium remains limited.
Why it matters
Helical thermoviscous flows rotated micro-objects out of plane and improved multiview microscopy.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
Key claims
