Microfluidic drops arrive from left to right, guided by the middle (default) rail. They are derailed, one by one, by focusing an invisible infrared laser as desired. The laser pushed the drops sufficiently to make them interact with other rails. By moving the laser, the user can decide the rail that is chosen by each drop individually.
The size of each droplet is about 300 µm (1 nL volume).
