Title

Optical tweezers for velocity mapping in microfluidic channels

Author(s)

Wu, Jing;  Day, Daniel;  Gu, Min

Abstract

We have successfully applied an optical tweezer for mapping the velocity profile in microfluidic channels. The velocity profiles for a straight and a u-shaped microfluidic channels were determined by direct measurement of the Stokes force.
