IMPETUX at CLUB21

Yesterday we participated in the RN4 radio program ‘Club 21’, where we talked about our vision, our mission and our values and gave an overview about the microscopic hands made of light that are the optical tweezers. You can hear the whole program here. (in catalan)

 

Another IMPETUX interview

After participating in the IV edition of the EMPENTA program, organized by ACCIO and ESADECREAPOLIS, we were interviewed at ESADECREAPOLIS OPEN INNOVATION COMMUNITY.

You can read the complete interview in Spanish here.

 

 

A new interesting Optics Express article

Direct measurement of axial optical forces

Gregor Thalhammer, Lisa Obmascher, and Monika Ritsch-Marte

An Optics Express paper talking about the direct measurement of optical forces based on recording the change of light momentum:  (the approach that overcomes many of the limitations of force measurements based on position measurements).

Arnau has given the talk:

Force measurements with optical tweezers inside living cells

And Ferran has been presenting the poster:

Implementation of Force Measurements based on the Detection of Light Momentum Changes in Optical Tweezers

In addition, many attendants have had the opportunity to see our demo and solve all their doubts about our method. Thank you very much to all of them for their interest!

A Biophysical Journal article analyzing the light-momentum-change method (IMPETUX technology) has been published

Arnau Farré has been awarded with the Justiniano Casas second prize for research in Optical Imaging

premi

Arnau Farré, co-founder of IMPETUX OPTICS, has been awarded with the Justiniano Casas second prize for research in Optical Imaging, 4th edition, for his thesis, entitled “Momentum measurements of single-beam traps and quantitative holographic experiments: two sides of the same coin”. The award ceremony was hold on the 29 of August in Santiago de Compostela during the meeting of the 23rd Congress of the International Commission for Optics (ICO).
