Development of Optical Trapping Techniques for in Vivo Investigations
Development of optical trapping techniques for in vivo investigations Andrew C. Richardson Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Lene Oddershede Optical Tweezers Group The Niels Bohr Institute University of Copenhagen Denmark 31st of December 2008 I hereby declare that the content of this thesis is entirely my own work and contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at any University. The thesis comprises a discussion and summary of the work I carried out between September 2005 and September 2008 at the Niels Bohr institute as part of my PhD studies. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this dissertation contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made. —— The image on the front cover is of a ’Golden apple’ which is one of three such apples that levitate from the fountain at Gammeltorv in the centre of Copenhagen, on occasions such as the Queens birthday and Denmark’s constitutional day. Although the golden apples are not confined by optical forces like those used to trap gold nano-particles, it is a jovial and light hearted comparison to the microscopic equivalent. ii Contents Preface ix List of abbreviations xiii 1 Optical Trapping 1 1.1 Abriefhistoryofopticaltrapping . ..... 1 1.1.1 Opticaltweezing ............................. 2 1.2 Forcesinopticaltrapping . ... 3 1.2.1 Mieregime ................................ 3 1.2.2 Rayleighregime ............................. 6 1.2.3 Absorption ................................ 7 1.2.4 Intermediateregime ........................... 8 1.3 Calibration .................................... 8 1.3.1 Opticaltweezerssetup . 9 1.3.2 Calibration by power spectral analysis . -

Three dimensional touch and vision for the micro-world Richard W. Bowman Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. School of Physics and Astronomy University of Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK October 12, 2012 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have come into being were it not for the help and sup- port of many wonderful people. Firstly I would like to thank my supervisor, Miles Padgett, for years of sage advice, knowing when to let me keep playing, and teaching me how to check my H-index. I’d also like to thank my second supervisor at the Institute of Photonics, Amanda Wright, for her guidance and support, and for introducing me to biology. The members of the Optics group past and present, have taught me much, endured many enthusiastic but silly questions, and made our corner of the basement a very fun place indeed. Thanks go to Johannes for talking physics whilst running up hills, Jonathan for teaching me never to forget the Jaffa cakes, Martin for many enjoyable arguments, Graham for giving me my first balldriver, Maria for ex- cellent cake, Arran for introducing us to ThorLabs, and Mike for admitting that a great many things aren’t his field. There are a few students and postdocs with whom I have worked particu- larly closely, and who have contributed to the work set out in the forthcoming chapters. Graham Gibson has taught me a great deal about how to build robust, stable optomechanics, and has assisted in the building of many of the experimental set-ups used during my PhD. -
Swaythling Cup and Jan-Ave Waldner Became the New World Champion
IEditorial Four "gems" to remember • • • ENGLISH table tennis players, administrators, fans will not easily forget this campaign now drawing to a close. It was the season when we entered the Olympic Games in Seoul, England finally bounced back into the Super Division of the European League, when Sweden slayed the Chinese dragon, (at least in the men's game) by winning the Swaythling Cup and Jan-ave Waldner became the new world champion. A year ago we failed to win promotion again and then found that Hungary were a new barrier. As it happened, Belgium and Austria were the two nations we had to beat and this we did principally by the strength of our two young men Alan Cooke and Carl Prean. Both have had a season they can lookback on with pride - Alan captured the Commonwealth title in Cardiff and it was Carl who raised his game in Dortmund in the memorable match with Waldner when he reached 19-19 in all four games against the exquisite talent of the man who two days later, became the new champion of the world. Don Parker summed it all up in Dortmund when he said, "We are now in all the competitions amongst the top nations including the new men's world team cup as we finished ninth here in Germany. I am more than pleased with the group of teenagers now bidding for a place in the England squad headed by Michael O'Driscoll, Bradley Billington and Matthew Syed. They demonstrated in Cardiff that they are improving all the time. -

One can not only have fun playing and competing on the tennis court, but it is evident that the sport can also help improve one’s overall health and emotional and mental well-being by playing tennis on a regular basis.

Tennis Glory Ever Could
A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family. -

Wheelchair Tennis Community Practice and Play Plans
ORANGE BALL WHEELCHAIR TENNIS COMMUNITY PRACTICE AND PLAY PLANS COMMUNITY 1 / COMMUNITY 2 NetGeneration.com DEAR COACH, WELCOME TO NET GENERATION! On behalf of the USTA, we thank you for supporting Net Generation. Together, we will shape the future of tennis. Net Generation isn’t just a new brand—it’s a comprehensive platform and development program for kids ages five through 18. By creating a singular platform for tennis that we all can rally behind, and through the support the USTA will offer along the way, we believe we can grow participation, instill the love of the game in future generations, and ensure that tennis remains a vibrant sport in our communities for years to come. As a former #1 world tennis player, former President of the Women’s Tennis Association, ESPN analyst, business owner, entrepreneur, and mother, I’m a Net Generation ambassador because I believe this new approach will benefit the growth of youth tennis. Sports today don’t meet the needs of parents, players, coaches, and community organizations quite like we will with Net Generation. By registering and becoming an active part of Net Generation, you will get access to the very best curricula that will help you facilitate play and deliver programs, digital tools and resources that make teaching, coaching, planning and playing easier, and marketing resources and support to enhance your programs’ visibility. This manual is just one item under the Net Generation brand and we hope it becomes a valuable resource for you. It’s comprehensive, competency-based, collaborative, and also packaged conveniently online with additional resources to help you customize your approach to creating programs for the sport you love.
