Dynamic trapping and manipulation of biological cells with optical tweezers by Sun, Dong, Hu, Songyu., Cheah, Chien Chern, Li, Xiang

“…Current control techniques for optical tweezers work only when the cell is located in a small neighbourhood around the centroid of the focused light beam. Therefore, the optical trapping fails when the cell is initially located far away from the laser beam or escapes from the optical trap during manipulation. …”
