Trapping small dielectric spheres at the focused laser point enables the control of small objects to amazing accuracy and precision. Therefore, this tool is commonly referred to as an optical tweezer.

Once the optical trapping constant and its relationship to laser power is determined, we can then measure things like the actin-myosin molecular motor force.

By turning up the laser until it traps the vesicle traveling down the vesicle pathway, we determine the laser power corresponding to the trapping constant that counters the force applied by the actin-myosin molecular motors. And since it takes a vesicle a vesicle-diameter to pass through the trap, we can calculate the motor force.
