Stretching of Lipid Membranes Using Optical Forces
2013
A dual-beam optical trap is used to investigate the mechanical properties of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs), synthetic lipid-bilayer systems commonly used for studying membrane mechanics. GUV deformation is analyzed to extract the membrane bending modulus.
