Simple laminar flow for controlled disruption of developmental programs. a) A simple Y-channel microfluidic device is used to differentially control the temperature of two halves of a developing Drosophila embryo64. Reprinted with permission from Nature Publishing Group. b) This temperature difference allows for artificial disruption of developmental programs in a temporally and spatially controllable manner, testing the timing and nature of potential compensatory mechanisms for noise in development.
