Micropipette aspiration technique for substrate attached BAECs. (A) Schematic side view of a micropipette approaching a substrate-attached cell. Inset, depiction of micropipette parameters used in analysis, where ID = 2a = internal diameter and ED = 2b = external diameter. (B) Bright contrast image of a micropipette shank touching a typically shaped cell used in aspiration experiments. (C) Fluorescent image of the same cell labeled with DiIC18. The micropipette is still present but is invisible. Scale bar, 30 μm.
