This EOS Topical Meeting is part of the third EOS Annual Meeting 2010 that will be held in Paris, France, from 26 - 29 October 2010 alongside the PRI-OPTO exhibition (26 - 28 October). Previous meetings took place in 2008 and 2006 with more than 650 attendees. Be a part of EOSAM 2010 and take this excellent opportunity to exchange new ideas and latest research results!
Are you a student and will you have a presentation at EOSAM 2010? Inform us (paris@myeos.org) until 11 October at the latest to be considered for the Best Student Presentation Awards.
Synopsis
As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the laser, we find seminal applications of photonics at the microscale making an ever growing impact. Light may exert forces on biological material. This field of optical trapping or micromanipulation enhances our fundamental knowledge across the sciences, highlighting our understanding of (nano-scale) molecular motors, unravelling the mechanics of DNA and cells, and making a great impact on studies of soft condensed matter and hydrodynamic interactions. Biological studies of single molecules have been revolutionised and new applications continue to appear: for example optical trapping combined with imaging (e.g., Raman) or other photonics technologies (e.g. nanosurgery) enhancing the ever growing “optical toolkit”. In the broader remit integrating optical methodologies with microfluidics is a current 'hot' topic in the field and indeed may be seen part of the exciting emergent area of optofluidics which combines microfluidics and photonics with particular emphasis on biological applications. Microfluidics is ideal for controlled sample delivery and advanced photonics for sensing or imaging thus leading to real innovation in analysis and future potential for integration. Such methodologies are highly reconfigurable offering advantages for manipulating, imaging, treating and handling of biological and colloidal samples.
Biophotonics - Advanced Trapping and Optofluidics in Life Sciences aims at exploring the exciting marriage of optical techniques and microfluidics with an emphasis upon the topics of optofluidics and optical trapping.
