| Abstract: | This paper describes an acoustic trap consisting of a multi-foci Fresnel lens on 127?μm thick lead zirconate titanate sheet. The multi-foci Fresnel lens was designed to have similar working mechanism to an Axicon lens and generates an acoustic Bessel beam, and has negative axial radiation force capable of trapping one or more microparticle(s). The fabricated acoustic tweezers trapped lipid particles ranging in diameter from 50 to 200?μm and microspheres ranging in diameter from 70 to 90?μm at a distance of 2 to 5?mm from the tweezers without any contact between the transducer and microparticles. |
