  • Abstract
    We present an architecture ideally suited for imaging and sorting large populations of single cells. Our approach combines wide-field, passive, hydrodynamic trapping of cells with active retrieval of specific single cells using radiation pressure and microfluidics. The architecture scales easily and offers single-cell resolution both with respect to imaging and manipulation, enabling sorts predicated on microscopy.
