Figure Legend Snippet: Examples of protein crystal-harvesting mechanisms. (a) Microgripper (‘chopsticks’; http://bit.ly/13lEQh7; Ohara, Ohba, Tanikawa, Hiraki, Wakatsuki, Mizukawa et al., 2004 ▶); (b) microcapillary (ACH; http://bit.ly/1b572WM; Weidong et al., 2004 ▶); (c) microtool (UMR; http://bit.ly/17pws4n; Viola et al., 2011 ▶); (d) ‘loopless’ (CMM; http://bit.ly/1a20g6v; Kitago et al., 2005 ▶); (e) Acoustic Droplet Ejection (ADE; Soares et al., 2011 ▶); (f) microgripper (REACH; Heidari Khajepour et al., 2013 ▶); (g) optical tweezers (FOT; Hikima et al., 2013 ▶); (h) ‘crystal catcher’ (Kitatani et al., 2008 ▶); (i) non-crystallographic application of force-sensing microgripper (Femtotools; http://bit.ly/17yY9YK; Beyeler et al., 2007 ▶); and (j–l) manipulation of a crystal using the RodBot system (Tung et al. (2013 ▶, 2014 ▶). In (j), the RodBot begins to rotate, generating a vortex that is used to capture the crystal, in (k) the RodBot transports the captured captured crystal towards the loop and in (l) the RodBot stops rotating and the crystal is released into the loop for harvesting.
