Development of a Stereotaxic Device for Low Impact Implantation of Neural Constructs or Pieces of Neural Tissues into the Mammalian Brain

Figure 9

Time-lapse images (1–6) illustrating precise deposition of the scaffold at a marked position (dark line at bottom of image) within the brain phantom. (a) The tip of the needle; (b) the top end of the scaffold; (c), (d), and (e) marking points on the scaffold indicating lack of deformations during displacement. Note that as the needle tip (a) is raised, the scaffold is left stationary and in the position it was originally lowered to within the gelatine gel.
