| A variable length linear trap operating between 20-1000 Hz under standard temperature and pressure conditions is reported. We simulated and observed various kinds of stable patterns: linear strings, planar zig-zag and volume structures. The interparticle distances depend on the trapped particle number and trap length. Our setup allows trapped microparticle diagnosis by various methods. |
