Abstract
Trapping increasingly large particles by holographic optical tweezers requires more laser power, ultimately causing problems for biological specimens. We show how living microorganisms can nevertheless be handled safely and precisely by a combination of optical and acoustic forces in a “Macro-Tweezers” trap with a large field of view.
