Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an optical trapping particle including a birefringent crystalline particle having a body and a length extending between a first end and a second end, said particle comprising an optic axis perpendicular to the length of the body, wherein the length of the body is greater than the largest width dimension of the first or second ends. The present invention also relates to an optical trapping particle including an optically isotropic particle having a body and a length extending between a first end and a second end, said particle having an asymmetric cross-section, wherein the length of the body is from about 10 nanometers to about 10 micrometers and is greater than the largest width dimension of the first or second ends. Angular optical trap systems including the optical trapping particles, methods of making, and methods of use are also disclosed.
