Force measurements with optical tweezers inside living cells [PDF]
, 2014 The force exerted by optical tweezers can be measured by tracking the momentum changes of the trapping beam, a method which is more general and powerful than traditional calibration techniques as it is based on first principles, but which has not been ...
