Inverted light microscope, capable of bright field, dark field, polarization, phase contrast, fluorescence microscopy with objective temperature control. This microscope is attached to a holographic tweezer setup with spatial light modulator (SLM), capable of generating complex patterns at up to 60 frames per second with 1064 nm infrared laser

• fast (500 fps at ~1.3 MP, faster at reduced area of interest) b/w digital CMOS camera (Mikrotron)
• optical tweezers setup (Yodh group, NOT set up for general use)
