Abstract
NOVELTY - The apparatus has a radiation system (1) that provides radiation beam (5). A sample (9) comprises of molecules that are each having a side attached to a transparent surface (12), and another side attached to an individual bead. A sample holder (10) maintains the sample in a manner that the transparent surface is within the beam of radiation, such that the beads are pushed by the radiation. A detector e.g. CMOS camera (23) senses the positions of the beads.
USE - Molecular manipulation apparatus for investigating molecules e.g. deoxyribonucleic (DNA) molecules in fields of biology, chemistry and physics.
ADVANTAGE - Heating effects in the detector is prevented by redirecting laser radiation after interacting with the sample.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of investigating molecules.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the schematic diagram of the molecular manipulation apparatus.
