title: Note: Toward multiple addressable optical trapping.
abstract: We describe a setup for addressable optical trapping in which a laser source is focused on a digital micromirror device and generates an optical trap in a microfluidic cell. In this paper, we report a proof-of-principle single beam/single micromirror/single three-dimensional trap arrangement that should serve as the basis for a multiple-trap instrument.
