Summary:Bio-micromanipulation is important for biology and bio-engineering
field. However, operation is very difficult, since the object is very
small, kept in the liquid, and observed by the optical microscope. We
have been developing a new 3D attitude control system for observation of
the micro object such as an embryo, cell, and microbe. The image of the
microscope is two-dimensional, so it is hard to observe the target in
the 3-D space. To improve the work of the biological experiment, we
proposed the 3-D bio-micromanipulation system combined with the virtual
reality (VR) space. In this paper we propose the 3-D modeling method of
the object to present the 3-D visual information to the operator and
improved the observation environment. In this system, we still have
difficulty to change the orientation of the microscopic object. The
bio-aligner, we propose, is a micro device for the attitude control of
an object. We develop a three-dimensional bio-aligner by
microfabrication. We show its fabrication process and basic rotating
experiment with yeast cells
