Optical Tweezers have become a widespread tool in Cell Biology, microengineering and other fields requiring
delicate micromanipulation. But for those sensitive tasks, it remains difficult to handle objects without damaging
them. As the precision in position and force measurement increase, the richness of information cannot
be fully exploited with simple interfaces such as a mouse or a common joystick. For this reason, we propose
a haptic force-feedback optical tweezer command and a force-feedback system controlled by one hand. The
system combines accurate force measurement using a fast camera and the coupling of these measured forces
with a human operator. The overall transparency allows even the feeling of the Brownian motion.
