Optical manipulation of membrane domains (a) Fluorescence images showing side-to-side movement of a liquid ordered domain on an adsorbed GUV. Schematic showing location of laser (red) and direction of movement (arrow) is shown below. Domains are dragged by the optical traps at the interface of the two phases. b Dragging the domain by the interface leads to a slight deformation away from a spherical geometry due to drag forces. All scale bars = 10 µm
