Representative scatter plot from an LD optical trap calibration experiment. Within the size range of LDs used in this experiment, the spring constant of the optical trap is quite linear in the bright field contrast of the LD image. This relationship is used to calculate the optical trap spring constant for the LDs that are trapped in the cytoplasm.
