Cytoskeletal Strains in Modeled Optohydrodynamically Stressed Healthy and Diseased Biological Cells
Figure 3
Quarter section image of an optically and hydrodynamically trapped glass bead with the surrounding fluid velocity vectors defined experimentally by the particle image velocimetry [16]. Analytically characterized flow velocity gradients are able to impart controlled normal and shear stresses onto trapped biological cells [12]. The relationship between the Cartesian and polar coordinates is indicated here within the - and - planes, respectively.
