Optimising optical tweezers for tracking and force measurement experiments

Optical Tweezers are a useful tool in many aspects of biology, including cell manipulation and microrheology. They are often used as piconewton force transducers, and are an effective tool for measuring forces acting upon optically trapped particle. To measure such forces, knowledge of the displacem...
