A view into the cell using an optical laser trap: it localizes microscopic particles in order to draw conclusions about their random trembling movement. A new approach developed by the Göttingen researchers makes it possible to deduce from these movements how hard, soft or liquid the inside of the cell is. Photo: Till Moritz Münker
