Figure 6

Experimental setup: (a) parts of the experimental setup for the application of gradient magnetic field on freely moving C. elegans. 1: objective lens and camera; 2: electromagnets; 3: NGM plate with freely moving wild type N2 C. elegans, with schematic of plate orientation, red lines indicating x, y, and z axes; 4: auxiliary transparent base; 5: working stage with bright light source; 6: power supply; 7: computer and recording software. Objects are not depicted in scale; (b) schematic of the orientation of the NGM plate (pink circle), x, y, and z axes and electromagnets (gray rectangles), top: view from above, bottom: view from aside.
