Video showing stretching of an NG108 neuronal cell in suspension using the single-fiber optical stretcher. Alignment of intracellular dark (high refractive index) material along the direction of laser beam propagation can be observed. Repeated stretching could be realized by switching on and off the laser beam. The cell returned to its original shape after switching off the trapping beam. Video corresponds to data in Fig. 6. Resolution is 320 × 240 (MPEG, ∼4 MB). [URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/1.2983663.2].
