Figure 1

A flowchart describing the main steps of the OrganoidChip experiments (a), and various sources of image blurring and loss of data caused by lack of proper immobilization (b). (a) The organoids were cultured on multiwell plates and then exposed to DOX for 48 h. Subsequently, organoids were introduced to the OrganoidChip for immobilization followed by calcium transients (cardiac organoids) and live/dead imaging. (b) The figure has three rows, each one representing a mechanism that disrupts high-resolution imaging. The top row depicts drifting caused by natural convection within the well of a chamber slide over 5 s. The middle row illustrates how fast stage movements can cause blur when having short exposure times. Typically, larger momentums and shorter exposure times (shown as “ex” on the figure) result in greater blur. The bottom row shows how much a cardiac organoid can propel itself, or “swim”, in 15 s in a petri-dish during calcium transients imaging. Scale bars represent 200 µm.
