Page 5: Chapter 3 Description
3.1. Introduction The Thorlabs OTM211 is an optical tweezers system designed for inverted microscopes. It provides two independent trapping beams that allow the manipulation of nano- and micro particles. Each path can be used to create several additional traps. The system is completely computer controlled and offers a graphical user interface which provides the user with a set of tools for the most common trapping experiments. -

OTM211 Chapter 3: Description The Equipartation method equates the average potential energy of the particle in the trap to the thermal energy of the solvent molecules. In this method, a sample of particle positions is obtained by recording the position detector output over time and converting the voltages to distances using the detector responsivity. -
