Abstract
A method for simultaneous imaging and executing contact-free directed hydrodynamic flow in a specimen. At least one light source dynamically heats the interior and/or a surface of the specimen via a light beam, the beam of the at least one light source is directed to the specimen through an objective of a microscope, the light beam is variably guided to specified locations of the specimen inducing a hydrodynamic flow in the specimen, and imaging the specimen via the same objective as used for introduction of the light beam.
