Microfluidic Device Trapping Process

Caption

These schematic diagrams show the embryo trapping process: (top) the cross-flow guides an embryo into the cylindrical trap; (middle) the flow around the embryo orients it vertically; (bottom) the trap contracts after loading is finished and secures the embryo inside the trap. The yellow plane represents the focal plane where images are obtained.
