«We managed to sample the surface structure of the projectile on - the - fly,
achieving micrometer accuracy,» Professor Koos comments, «To this end, we recorded 100 million distance values per second, corresponding to the fastest distance measurement so far demonstrated.»

Although such measurements have been performed in much larger scale systems, the latest results were
achieved within a
micrometer - sized waveguide — a thin wire that guides light — and demonstrated the use of optical torque to induce rotational motion in a microscale mechanical device.
«As a model small cell type, we used a cancer cell whose size is around 24
micrometers, and
achieved 98.9 % purity, 90.7 % viability, and a 97.8 % success rate.»
«We tested the method on microalgae as an example of large cells, around 100
micrometers in size, and

Even with a simple analysis, absolute calibration is
achieved with an equivalent Doppler precision of ∼ 9 meters per second at ∼ 1.5
micrometers — beyond state - of - the - art accuracy.
