High speed micromanipulation system with multi-scalability

Many studies have been conducted for mechanical property measurement of microobjects. Most of these studies have a micromanipulation system which can only measure mechanical properties. However, if cell manipulation and mechanical property measurement could be carried on simultaneously with the same system, work efficiency would be greatly improved. It has been realized that our micro manipulation system can conduct both of tasks simultaneously. Then it has been understood that, if our manipulation system can be improved in terms of workspace and speed, this system will be much more suitable for cell analysis and manipulation tasks. In this paper, two main subjects have been explained. Workspace improvement method to manipulate different size microobjects with the same system is explained. Moreover, problems about high speed manipulation and solutions are described and high speed ability of the system is shown by comparing similar studies.
