多点光照射システムを利用した走光性藻類の並列運動制御技術の開発

The objective of this study is to develop an environmental light-responsive device array driven by miroalgae. We study an actuation mechanism based on algae, Euglena which is responsive to an environment light. We designed and fabricated a microfluidic channel to pattern algae using a flow and characterized patterning results. We built an optical system to irradiate a light selectively towards a sample using a digital micromirror device. We irradiated a light to algae and measured the photo-response of the algae. Movable components were encapsulated in microchambers. We demonstrated the actuation of the component by Euglena.
