Abstract
Laser-based optical control technologies have shown promise in achieving high spatiotemporal precision. However, existing methods face challenges in real-time target selection and manipulation. To overcome these limitations, we present a real-time precision opto-control (RPOC) technology, which is a closed-loop optoelectronic system that is built upon a laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscope and integrates chemical-specific optical detection, real-time decision-making, and precise optical manipulation at target sites. Using RPOC, we demonstrated precise inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) solely at selected targets and monitoring ROS-induced changes in microtubule polymerization dynamics. We also selectively inhibit tubulin polymerization using RPOC paired with a photoswitchable inhibitor.
