Full text of article: Russian language.

Abstract:
A method for moving relatively large microscopic energy through the use of polystyrene microparticles implosions in the ultraviolet light beam with a wavelength of 355 nm. Pre-positioning of the polystyrene microparticles was carried out by a laser beam with a wavelength of 532 nm, which was distributed in the same direction as an ultraviolet beam. Presented an experiment on controlled movement of biological micro-object with a diameter 30 mkm.

Key words:
optical capture, polystyrene microparticles, a compound light beams, the ultra-violet laser, microexplosion.
