Abstract

In this study, we present an optical fiber tweezers imaging system that can be used to measure the viscosity coefficient of the blood in minute quantity. The trapping of a red blood cell is realized by a fiber-optic tweezers system. The optical force on a red blood cell increases with the viscosity coefficient of the surrounding medium. On this basis, the viscosity coefficients of the glycerol solutions with different concentrations are measured successfully. The sample volume of the blood solutions is less than 1 μL. This technique provides a new method for the microscopic viscosity measurement of rare enchylema, which has great biological applications for cell characteristics and reaction dynamics.
