Minute particle optical manipulation method and apparatus

摘要

A minute particle optical manipulation method and a minute particle optical manipulation apparatus are capable of simply strengthening a trapping force in an optical-axis direction and expanding a range where the trapping for acts in the optical-axis direction without requiring an optical element such as a special prism etc., and obtaining the trapping force enough to trap the particle even when the minute particle exists deep within a medium while keeping the trapping force when the minute particle is in a shallow position within the medium.
