This manuscript details the development of an optical tweezer setup to study the mechanical properties of endothelial cells, involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The goal is to determine the viscoelastic properties of the cells, and to follow the propagation of the mechanical constraint inside the cell. This mechanical constraint is applied via a bead attached to the cell membrane and subjected to an optical trap.The setup built combines optical trapping with phase contrast microscopy, to apply a force while imaging the cells with the same microscope objective. The originality of the optical tweezer setup relies on the detection of the signal backscattered by the trapped bead, in a plane conjugate to the back focal plane of the o...
