Optical forces are widely used to manipulate microparticles such as living cells, DNA and bacteria. The forces used in these 'optical tweezers' originate from the strongly varying electromagnetic field in the focus of a high-power laser beam. This field gradient polarizes the particle, causing the positively and negatively charged sides of the dipo...
