title: Core-Shell Particles for Simultaneous 3D Imaging and Optical Tweezing in Dense Colloidal Materials.
abstract: A new colloidal system that consists of core-shell "probe" particles embedded in an optically transparent "host" particle suspension is developed. This system enables simultaneous fast confocal imaging and optical tweezing in dense 3D colloidal materials.
