Hi,

Does anyone have experience with the MMI Cell Manipulator system and their
quadrant detector force measurement module?
Can you describe the pros and cons of this system compared to a home built
laser tweezer setup or other commercial systems.
My application involves real time interactive manipulation of 1 or 2 objects
(micron sized beads) and force measurements (up to ~100pN) .

Thanks,
Kinneret
