Conclusions:

The time-reversal operator decomposition is effective for focusing on individual nanoparticles in a weakly scattering medium.
This technique overcomes challenges posed by aberrating layers for nanoparticle manipulation.
The method offers significant potential for advanced optical imaging, characterization, and selective excitation of nanoparticles.
