Construction of force measuring optical tweezers instrumentation and investigations of biophysical properties of bacterial adhesion organelles

Optical tweezers are a technique in which microscopic-sized particles, including living cells and bacteria, can be non-intrusively trapped with high accuracy solely using focused light. The technique has therefore become a powerful tool in the field of biophysics. Optical tweezers thereby provide ou...
