Abstract
Dynamic arrays of microbeads and cells offer great flexibility and potential as platforms for sensing and manipulation applications in various scientific fields, especially biology and medicine. Here, we present a simple method for assembling and manipulating dense dynamic arrays based on time-shared scanning optical tweezers with a microlens array. Three typical examples, including the dynamic and simultaneous bonding of microbeads in real-time, are demonstrated. The optical design and the hardware setup for our approach are also described.Keywords: (140.7010) Laser trapping; (170.0170) Medical optics and biotechnology; (170.4520) Optical confinement and manipulation; (350.4855) Optical tweezers or optical manipulation
