The results of the experimental work aimed at a functional enhancement of the existing laser tweezers system by introducing a pixel-addressable liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (Holoeye HEO-1080P) are presented. The use of the modulator allows us to generate light fields of complicated structure including ones with the vortex component and control the objects positions in real time. The special software is developed to form an array of optical traps with the number of elements up to thirty two with the capability of individual or subgroup control. The method of a spatial separation of the modulator aperture is implemented. The ability to control the lateral power distribution of the light field as well as the value of its orbital moment brings new possibilities of a precise manipulation of microobjects including biological ones.
