Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for simultaneous optical trapping, stretching, and measurement of morphological deformation of a micro-particle in real-time. Using the setup of the present invention, the deformability of a living cell can be obtained in real-time by measuring the variation in coupling efficiency with optical power of light coupled from one single-mode fiber to the other through the lensing effect of the trapped-and-stretched micro-particle.
