Installing IR laser to trap biological particles
The optical tweezers setup was transitioned to an infared laser to work with biological samples. This is necessary because biological systems will absorb the 637 nm wavelength light from the visible laser which in turn damages and kills the samples. Absorption of IR light does not occur, and therefore the same systms will be unharmed by the IR laser.
