The plateau modulus was found to be proportional to the ability of the probes to bind to the filaments.

J. 81 2001 1786 1792 Laser tweezers are used to measure the local shear moduli of type I collagen gels. The technique was able to characterize significant heterogeneity, which may play an important role for the behavior of embedded cells, particularly during motility and remodeling, which are governed by traction forces exerted on micrometer lengthscales.

Instrum. 74 2003 3246 3249 A recent analysis of quadrant detectors and their applications for high-frequency position detection. The transparency of common silicon detectors at 1064 nm is shown to limit the bandwidth to 5-20 kHz. Improvements can be made using alternative InGaAs or reverse-biased devices.

Phys. 93 2003 3167 3176 The physical mechanism of the unintended filtering of quadrant detectors is shown to result from the transparency of silicon at the common optical trap wavelength 1064 nm. Photons are absorbed and create charge-carriers predominantly outside of the diode's depletion zone in the n-layer, where they remain undetected until they thermally diffuse out.

Lett. 67 2004 477 483 This paper discusses probe measurements using magnetic beads in a dense hard sphere suspension near the glass transition volume fraction. The relationship between force and velocity of the probe becomes increasingly non-linear as the glass transition is approached. It nicely highlights the many new aspects of microscopic response that can be measured with probe techniques in colloidal suspensions, especially in combination with real-space imaging using confocal microscopy.

The presence of a third body is shown to induce an apparent attraction between two repulsive particles in a line trap.
