(a) The ratio of lateral forces to normal forces as functions of lateral displacement of the probes from the well axis for microwell DEP cell with Geometry B (Figure 2b,▲), Geometry C (Figure 2c, ○), and Geometry D (Figure 2d, ●). (b) Blue dashed outlines show the centered position of the probes and the blue arrows show the direction of the normal and lateral forces acting on the probe in each situation (positive or negative DEP). These forces were calculated using a 2D well to reduce calculation time.
