Spatial tuning of gel stiffness. (A and B) Laser intensity gradients can be used to generate gradients in gel stiffness. Gels are stiffened in gradients of varying slopes. (C and D) Stiffness patterns can be made by focusing light on particular gel regions. (E and F) Metal-on-glass photomasks can be used to create defined stiffness patterns.
