Accurate calibration of optical tweezers close to a glass surface using interference rings in backscattered light

Mechanical forces play an important role in the behaviour of cells, from differentiation to migration and the development of diseases. Optical tweezers provide a quantitative tool to study these forces and must be combined with other tools, such as phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy. Detecti...
