Plastic tweezers are non-conductive and non-corrosive tools used to pick up or remove small objects. They are popular in technical environments and scientific settings where metal tools aren’t safe. Plastic tweezers can also be applied to metal tweezers with plastic grips or tips. Plastic tweezers are simple tools made entirely or partially of plastic designed […]
When choosing long tweezers for small parts, consider the materials being handled, size and shape of pieces, and toe style. Precision-tipped tweezers are best for small parts, while coated tips are good for slippery objects. The design should be tailored to the task, and material and durability should also be considered. When working with small […]
Laser tweezers use laser beams to trap microscopic particles with precise three-dimensional positioning, exploiting a phenomenon called refractive index mismatch. They only work with dielectric materials and can be used to levitate bacteria, viruses, atoms, and molecules. Laser tweezers have been invaluable in studying biological machines and contribute to the emerging science of nanotechnology. Steven […]
