(a–d) Time-lapse images of the controlled orientation of a PMMA dimer shown in Supplementary Movie 1. (e–h) Time-lapse images of the assembly of three PMMA particles shown in Supplementary Movie 2. See also Supplementary Fig. 1 for full sequences of optical manipulation of a PMMA dimer and the assembly of PMMA particles. (a,e) Desired tomograms calculated by applying rotational, translational, and/or folding transformations to the reconstructed tomogram in the initial state. (b,f) Desired 3D beam intensity generated by numerical propagation of the phase-only hologram in the insets of each column. The phase-only holograms were calculated by applying the 3D Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm to the desired tomograms in each column in a,e, respectively. (c,g) 3D rendered isosurfaces of the tomograms of the PMMA particles trapped by the desired 3D beam intensity in each column of b,f, respectively. (d,h) The cross-sectional slice images of the measured tomograms in the x–y, x–z and y–z plane. Scale bar indicates 5 μm.
