endoscopic fibers

Optical tweezers use light to immobilize microscopic particles as small as a single atom in 3D space. The principle behind the tweezers is the momentum transfer between light and the object held. Light pushes onto objects that make the…

Using fibers roughly the width of a human hair, researchers created a 3D imaging system with applications ranging from remote inspection of small or dangerous machines to a miniaturized and minimally invasive endoscopic tool. Their report…
