Microscope-mounted magnets with computerized feedback control allow precision manipulations of intracellular objects.
To learn about cells’ workings by physically manipulating their contents, scientists devised a new form of magnetic tweezers. The system consists of magnets mounted on a microscope, which researchers use to control a tiny metallic bead with enough force to prod organelles.
