Workshop on manipulation and characterization of micrometer size objects

Objects with sizes below 1 millimeter can take a wide variety of form, ranging from biological cells to fossils. The analysis of such tiny objects leads to major information for a better comprehension of our world. Despite this variety, the analysis of such objects share common problematics, such as the difficulty of visualization, the difficulty to handle individual objects, the necessity to isolate and characterize specific entities from a raw sample, and the difficulty to apply and measure forces of low magnitude to characterize them.

The goal of this workshop is to present the problematics faced by the manipulation of such objects. Some are expected to be shared by many of the participants, while others will be specific to given domains. This meeting, at the interface between several scientific domains, aims to make new collaborations emerge between scientists of different fields to share innovative solutions for the manipulation and characterization of micrometer size objects.
