Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems, methods, and apparatus for an improved microfluidic cell imaging system that allows for the simultaneous application of a compression force to a biological specimen forming a consistent cell monolayer while imaging the cells.
Claims22
A cell imaging system comprising:
- a microfluidic device adapted to hold a biological sample within an active area of a compressible substrate;
- a compression assembly configured to apply a compression force to said compressible substrate forming a cell monolayer within said active area;
- a light source directed to said active area;
- and
- wherein said device is configured to allow an imaging device to image or observe the cell monolayer within the active area while said compression force is applied to said compressible substrate.
