Optical tweezers are widely used in materials assembly¹, characterization², biomechanical force sensing3,4 and the in vivo manipulation of cells⁵ and organs⁶. The trapping force has primarily been generated through the refractive index mismatch between a trapped object and its surrounding medium. This poses a fundamental challenge for the optical t...

Point spread function (PSF) engineering by an emitter's response can code higher‐spatial‐frequency information of an image for microscopy to achieve super‐resolution. However, complexed excitation optics or repetitive scans are needed, which explains the issues of low speed, poor stability, and operational complexity associated with the current las...

Multiphoton fluorescence microscopy (MPM), using near infrared excitation light, provides increased penetration depth, decreased detection background, and reduced phototoxicity. Using stimulated emission depletion (STED) approach, MPM can bypass the diffraction limitation, but it requires both spatial alignment and temporal synchronization of high...
