Micromanipulation techniques are widely adopted in materials science, colloidal physics and life sciences for various applications, ranging from nanostructure assembly and particle trapping to spatio-temporal analysis of cell organization. Introduced optically induced thermoviscous flows, i.e. focused-light-induced cytoplasmic streaming (FLUCS), can manipulate the cytoplasm in cells and developing embryos.
