Optical tweezers are based on a transfer of momentum from laser photons to a transparent particle and are often applied to hold, move or manipulate single living cells. This paper discusses up to which light dose irradiance can be regarded as non-phototoxic, summarizes some possible applications, and describes experimental setups, which might fulfil these requirements.
