The investigations were performed in collaboration with the Department of Physiology at the University of Innsbruck, Prof. Paul Dietl. [4.9 MB, MPEG] stretching red blood cells Red blood cells are stretched using a fiber optical trap. [1.4 MB, MPEG] fiber optical trap This movie demonstrates the wide range of use of a fiber optical trap. [8.8 MB, MPEG] red blood cells This movie shows that red blood cells are really soft. Btw, thanks to Armin and Manfred. Guess why?
