Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Enhancement of visual sensing and servoing for micromanipulation

open access: yes, 2008
Micromanipulation is critical to many growing technologies, such as microsurgery, microelectronics, MEMS, life sciences etc. However it is very difficult for the operator to carry out micromanipulation tasks, he does not have direct access to the micro ...

Interferometric Near‐Field Scanning Optical Microscopy via Phase Conjugation of a Multimode Fiber Probe

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 October 2026.
A multimode fiber probe collects far more of the near field than a single‐mode one, but scrambles the phase into speckle. Phase conjugation on a spatial light modulator restores the wavefront, concentrating the signal up to 165‐fold at a single detector pixel and recovering the full phase of propagating surface plasmon polaritons where conventional ...

Modeling and Evaluation of Penetration Process Based on 3D Mechanical Simulation

open access: yesSensors
In biological micromanipulation, cell penetration is a typical procedure that precedes cell injection or oocyte enucleation. During this procedure, cells usually undergo significant deformation, which leads to cell damage.

Vision based event classification in robotic micromanipulation

open access: yes, 2017
Autonomous positioning of small objects to create heterogeneous structures has great potential to advance the current micromanipulation procedures. To achieve autonomous micromanipulation, it is required to recognize the manipulation events. In this work,

Calibration of a micromanipulation system

open access: yes, 2002
Calibration is indispensable for automatic micromanipulation. In this paper, using the height difference between different focus planes detected from the microscope and the coordinates of the probe measured from encoders, systematic methods to calibrate ...

Locating end-effector tips in automated micromanipulation

open access: yes, 2013
Locating end-effector tips is a prerequisite step in micromanipulation. The tip of micromanipulation tools is typically a few micrometers in size and highly delicate.

Theoretical and Experimental Study of an Electrokinetic Micromanipulator for Biological Applications

open access: yesBiomimetics
The ability to control and manipulate biological fluids within microchannels is a fundamental challenge in biological diagnosis and pharmaceutical analyses, particularly when buffers with very high ionic strength are used.
