Real-time 3D Imaging Interface of Micro-targets for Depth Visibility Improvement in Cell Manipulation

Abstract

In this study, we propose a real-time 3D image presentation system of micro-targets for efficient cell manipulation. This system estimates 3D position and size of micro-targets using a focal position adjustment mechanism of an electrical tunable lens; then the system presents reconstructed 3D images of the micro-targets. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated through a 3D image presentation experiment of micro-targets.
