Abstract
Optical tweezers have become a very useful tool for the micromanipulation and force transduction of single cells and organisms.1–3 To date, it has been assumed that optical tweezers are non-destructive, producing only minimal cell damage and negligible temperature changes in trapped samples at the Nd:YAG laser wavelength (1060 nm), but no direct evidence has been presented thusfar to support this assumption.
