Microrheology with optical tweezers (MOT) measurements are usually performed using optical traps that are close to isotropic across the plane being imaged, but little is known about what happens when this is not the case. In this work, we investigate... Read More about Microrheology With an Anisotropic Optical Trap.

Optical Tweezers with Integrated Multiplane Microscopy (OpTIMuM): a new tool for 3D microrheology (2021)
Journal Article

We introduce a novel 3D microrheology system that combines for the first time Optical Tweezers with Integrated Multiplane Microscopy (OpTIMuM). The system allows the 3D tracking of an optically trapped bead, with?~?20 nm accuracy along the optical ax...
