Comparing Different Light Models for Virtual Electrodes in Optoelectronic Tweezers. [PDF]
ElectrophoresisABSTRACT Optoelectronic tweezers (OET) allow for the physical manipulation of particles of interest via dielectrophoresis (DEP) in microfluidic devices. To produce the nonuniform electric field required to enable DEP, light is used to expose a photoconductive film and create a so‐called virtual electrode (VE).

Economical justification of flexible microassembly cells [PDF]
Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium onAssembly and Task Planning, 2003., 2004 Cost is a most important factor to take into account when choosing an assembly system. Traditional choice between manual and automatic assembly with several degrees of partial automation is no longer possible in microassembly. Automation is crucial for precision and quality in handling and attachment of microcomponents.
