Ultra-stable Optical Tweezers Microscope

can now be combined with single-molecule fluorescence detection, which enables direct detection of bound molecular species. The aim of the investment is to meet the demands for these state-of-the-art single-molecule studies, at the highest force resolution and stability in time, light sensitivity, a

nd novel microfluidic flow capabilities. For this purpose, a new optical tweezers instrument will be purchased, which will be installed in the laboratory at AMOLF. 1 ultra-stable Optical Tweezers Microscope
