Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microscopic detection, in particular to a dual-imaging magnetic tweezers system. Background technique [0002] In the study of the dynamics of biomolecules and cells at the micro-nano scale, the study of molecular conformation and conformational changes over time can further reveal the mysteries of life activities. [0003] In recent years, with the continuous development of single-molecule manipulation and detection technology, magnetic tweezers is a widely used single-molecule manipulation device. It fixes the two ends of the experimental molecule on a glass slide and a magnetic bead respectively. An external magnetic field is then applied to control the magnetic balls, stretching or twisting the experimental molecules. Through the change of the position of the magnetic ball, the length, force and torque of the experimental molecule can be calculated. Although the existing technology can perform fluor...
