Abstract

We report three-dimensional trapping of charge stabilized colloidal particles near a charged surface (glass boundary), using a low numerical aperture objective. The trapping arises due to balancing action between optical forces and electrostatic repulsions. The observation of 3-d colloidal clusters and a linear array of colloidal microspheres along the trap beam and the possible reasons thereof are also discussed.
