An award has been made the University of Hawaii under the direction of Dr. Stuart P. Donachie for the acquisition of a system called laser tweezers that allows micromanipulation of cells and tissues. The laser tweezers will allow researchers to perform fine operations on cells to study a variety of processes at the cellular level. Studies include ablation of certain cells from algal filaments to investigate the physiology of the cells, trapping of single celled microbes that live in lava caves, transplantation of sea urchin embryos, and manipulation of the nuclei cells in sea anemones. The instrument will be housed in a core facility for use by faculty and students at the University of Hawaii and other nearby colleges. Demonstrations of the laser tweezers will be offered to K-12 students and community college faculty and students.

夏威夷大学在斯图尔特·P·多纳奇博士的指导下，获得了一个名为激光镊子的系统，该系统可以对细胞和组织进行显微操作。 激光镊子将允许研究人员对细胞进行精细操作，以研究细胞水平上的各种过程。 研究包括从藻丝中切除某些细胞以研究细胞的生理学，捕获生活在熔岩洞穴中的单细胞微生物，移植海胆胚胎，以及操纵海葵中的核细胞。 该仪器将被安置在一个核心设施中，供夏威夷大学和附近其他学院的师生使用。 激光镊子的演示将提供给K-12学生和社区学院的教师和学生。
