Real-Time Deformability Cytometry (1 of 2)

Caption

Cells flow at a velocity of 10 cm/s from right to left through the microfluidic channel (width of the image shown: 1.5 mm). The sheath flow from the upper and lower right corners focuses the cells for cell deformability measurements in the narrowest part of the channel. This focusing causes the formation of heart-shaped streamlines as illustrated here by an inverted overlay of many single frames.
