Rapid rotation of micron and submicron dielectric particles measured using optical tweezers
- Abstract:
-
We demonstrate the use of a laser trap ('optical tweezers') and back-focal-plane position detector to measure rapid rotation in aqueous solution of single particles with sizes in the vicinity of 1 μm. Two types of rotation were measured: electrorotation of polystyrene microspheres and rotation of the flagellar motor of the bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus. In both cases, speeds in excess of 1000Hz (rev s-1) were measured. Polystyrene beads of diameter about 1 μm labelled with smaller beads were...
