We demonstrate a method for 3-dimensional force calibration of optical tweezers by recording the trapping dynamics of polystyrene beads. This is realized by time-resolved detection of the horizontal and vertical position of a bead which is drawn to the focus of a laser beam. The method provides real time characterization of the force profile of an optical trap in all directions.
