Abstract
In this paper, we report the realization of a microscopic dipole trap for neutral atoms. In order to focus the trapping laser on a sub-micron spot, we use a diffraction limited home-built microscope objective. Pictures of trapped atoms are performed by a low noise CCD camera and an avalanche photodiode is used for time resolved experiments.
