Figure 8From: Validation of the effects of TGF-β1 on tumor recurrence and prognosis through tumor retrieval and cell mechanical propertiesSchema and photo image of the microplate mechanical measurement system (MMS). (A) The MMS comprised a cell-seeding glass slide and a flexible cantilever at the opposite position. We manipulated the cantilever by inputting commands through a computer to the stepper motor, and then operated the cantilever to move along the x-axis of the images shown on the monitor. (B) The component locations were adjusted perpendicular to the bottom of the petri dish above the microscope.Back to article page
