Force sensing and generation is central to many biological events. There is a growing interest in modern cell biology for methods enabling force measurements in vivo. Here we demonstrate the power of optical tweezing in measuring low-range hemodynamic forces in vivo and, thereby, offer an unprecedented tool for both cell and developmental biology.
