Abstract

An apparatus and method for simultaneous imaging and execution of contact-free directed hydrodynamic flow in a specimen. The apparatus includes a laser adapted to dynamically heat the specimen, a microscope with an objective adapted to image at least a part of the specimen and to guide a light beam of the laser into and/or onto the specimen to heat at least one specified location of the specimen, means for manipulating the specified location, and a sample chamber for the specimen that is accessible for imaging radiation and the light beam to allow simultaneous imaging and manipulation of the sample via the objective.
