optical tweezers for Nikon e600 microscope?

#1 Post by createthis » Wed Oct 16, 2019 2:05 pm

Hello,

I have a Nikon e600 microscope I bought on ebay a couple years back. I've recently been reading about optical tweezers (aka laser tweezers) and I thought it would be interesting to do some experiments using this technique.

I know it is possible to build an optical tweezers rig from scratch and I know there are some (fairly expensive) dedicated commercial units available. However, does anyone know if the e600 had a commercial add-on system available? I'm not seeing anything on google and I'm just curious.

Thanks
