ABSTRACT:
An opening is formed in a cell using laser radiation. A Bessel beam is formed using the laser radiation and the Bessel beam is directed onto the cell to form an opening. The guiding of material towards the opening may be involved using optical trapping/manipulation. The material may change cellular function or analyse cell behaviour. Both pulsed laser radiation and continuous wave radiation may be formed using the same laser.
