Video image showing the micro-manipulation of flow in a thin liquid film by intense light. Absorption of light in the underlying substrate produces temperature variations which in turn create gradients in the film's surface tension. Modulating the light intensity allows the dynamics of the fluid to be both probed and controlled. [Nicolas Garnier, Roman O. Grigoriev, and Michael F. Schatz, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 054501 (2003)]
