Visualization 4: High efficiency fabrication of complex microtube arrays by scanning focused femtosecond laser Bessel beam for trapping/releasing biological cells

Release of captured breast cancer cells. By aspirating with syringe, cells were released slowly from microtubes into cell culture. Originally published in Optics Express on 03 April 2017 (oe-25-7-8144

The simulated process of NIH 3T3 capture. Cells were sucked into microtubes with extrusion deformation firstly, then, moved with fairly high speed in the first part and decelerated when close to the outlet of microtubes. Originally published in Optics Express on 03 April 2017 (oe-25-7-8144

Visualization 1: High efficiency fabrication of complex microtube arrays by scanning focused femtosecond laser Bessel beam for trapping/releasing biological cells

The simulated progress of microparticle capture. The results show that the fluid speed in the microtubes is related to the distance between fluid and the aspirating needle and increases dramatically when it is close to the aspirating needle.
