Effects
NO Shrinking at the beginning NO Changes over
Time Orientation Budding Higher Signals due to
heat-induced Opacity
22Implications
Be Careful in Acquiring Spectra! Asymmetric and
growing cells move in the optical trap The
scattered light follows different
paths Cell-Cycle Stages can be Probed Different
Cells can be Identified and Sorted

25OTD a time-of-flight method
This method is widely used in different area of
physics as atom cooling by measuring temperature
of cooled atoms, in infrared spectroscopy and
mass spectroscopy. Singer et al., J. Mod. Opt.
