Multiple spatiotemporal trajectories to analyze spore-worm interactions. (A) Sedated worms can be moved by the xyz stage of the microscope to contact a stationary trapped spore(s). In the case of multiple traps, the spores were moved together with identical displacement. (B) Alternatively, trapped spore(s) can be moved in all directions by HOT. Moreover, each trap is independent both in space and time. Directional movements are indicated by red lines in the xy plane and by a circle in the z axis; the direction by an arrow; multiple arrows represent different arrival times. Movies S3–S5 illustrates the different modes of analysis of D. coniospora spore adhesion on C. elegans.
