The tool used for such operations are known as optical tweezers.
2
Like the optical tweezers, these short pulses can also be used to observe microscopic processes.
3
We use optical tweezers to trap particles in solution.
4
He developed optical tweezers in 1970, while he was a scientist working at Bell Labs.
5
Here we use optical tweezers to track microtubule polymerization against microfabricated barriers, permitting unprecedented spatial resolution.

However, conventional laser tweezers and traps rely on bulk optics and are not compatible with current trends in optofluidic miniaturization.
