| Abstract: | The single‐cell screening has attracted great attentions in advanced biomedicine and tissue biology, especially for the early disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. In this work, by using a specific‐designed fiber probe with a flat facet, we propose an “optical fan” strategy to screen K562 cells at the single‐cell level from a populations of RBCs. After the 980‐nm laser beam injected into the fiber probe, the RBCs were blown away but holding target K562 cells in place. Further, multiple leukemic cells can be screened from hundreds of red blood cells, providing an efficient approach for the cell screening. The experimental results were interpreted by the numerical simulation, and the stiffness of optical fan was also discussed. |
